Argentina forests burn amid heat wave, drought

Fires devoured some 6,000 hectares (14,800 acres) of forests in northern Corrientes province in days.

Fires have destroyed more than 100,000 acres since start of year, with heat wave after heat wave.

Argentina issued health warnings in several provinces last month under the worst heat wave in decades.

Climate change has made heat waves "more persistent and more intense" in Argentina's Patagonia region.
