Download a sample scene from before the 08/2019 fires near Curumbá, Brazil
This is a cropped version of a Landsat 8 scene from 2019/08/09. It was taken just before a fire in the Pantanal near the city of Curumbá in the triple border between Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. The fires were much larger than this cropped scene and took up the majority of the original Landsat scene.
The scene was downloaded from USGS Earth Explorer. Original data are in the public domain and are redistributed here in accordance with the Landsat Data Distribution Policy.
- Parameters:

- Returns:
path (str) – The path to the downloaded .tar file that contains the scene.
