Digital Railroad member Inke Dimitriadi, of IML image group said today, "Greece has literally been on fire the whole summer but it became big news this weekend since over 50 people have died and the fact that ancient Olympia is in danger."

Greenpeace Greece estimated 500,000 acres (200,000 hectares) of the country's forests and vegetation have been wiped out in this summer's fires.
