Wildfire smoke and reflecting pool work in Washington, DC
Smoke from wildfires burning in the U.S. and Canada creates a thick, hazardous haze while workers examine the cetner drain of a dry Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on July 17, 2026. U.S. President Donald Trump continues to seek solutions to the algae problem in the pool. The smoke has driven air pollution to unhealthy levels in a large swath of the country, from Minnesota to Massachusetts and south to Virginia. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
