These images, captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, compare the status of the ice arch on 14 March 2021 and one year later, on 14 March 2022, showing that there is currently no ice arch in the Nares Strait.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Every winter, an ice arch appears in the Nares Strait, between Canada and Greenland. Ice arches are structures whose geometry prevents sea ice from exiting the Arctic Ocean and drifting south. Typically, ice arches break up in early July and reform the following winter. These images, captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, compare the status of the ice arch on 14 March 2021 and one year later, on 14 March 2022, showing that there is currently no ice arch in the Nares Strait. The data provided by the Copernicus Sentinel satellite missions allows to assess sea ice extent in the Arctic and Antarctic.
