'READ MORE: * Port Hills fires: Lessons for the entire country * Firestorm: Stories of the Port Hills fire * Plans underway to replace native trees lost in Port Hills fire * Analysis: What could have been done to stop the Port Hills blaze?', "The damage to Christchurch's Port Hills after February's fires can be seen from space, as illustrated in new satellite imagery."
'Landcare Research (LCR) has created a before and after image, using imagery from a European Space Agency (ESA) satellite, which allowed people to see clearly the area burnt in the Port Hills fires. ', " The second satellite will double ESA's imaging power, meaning images of New Zealand will be taken every five days, rather than 10."
'A second image was taken during the height of the fire at around 11.30am on February 14, which shows the amount of smoke put out over Banks Peninsula. '
