Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: On May 30 2010, a field of snow covered the North Slope, and in places, the land merged nearly imperceptibly with the ice-covered sea. The small town of Barrow, a grey smudge, was the only conspicuous feature across the northernmost part of the snowy expanse. By June 8, snow had retreated, and the boundary between land and sea was more obvious, especially in Smith Bay. In the final image, captured on June 15, hundreds of ponds, some round and others stretched into long ovals, were scattered across the tundra. |

These images use a combination of visible, near-infrared, and shortwave-infrared light to make even muddy water stand out distinctly from the tundra. Images captured bythe Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite.
