This mosaic, consisting of multiple images acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 31 May 2021 provides evidence of the early absence of sea ice in the Laptev Sea.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: This mosaic, consisting of multiple images acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 31 May 2021 provides evidence of the early absence of sea ice in the Laptev Sea. Sea ice in the Russian Arctic Ocean usually begins to melt in early June. As this image shows, two large areas of open water were already present in the Laptev Sea at the time this image was acquired. In addition, the remaining shoreline sea ice has taken on a blue colour. In the special false-colour visualisation used for this image, blue indicates that the sea ice is close to complete fracturing. The open data provided by Copernicus products and services allow for the development of authoritative assessments of the state of sea ice coverage worldwide.
