This image, acquired by the radar onboard one of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites on 19 September, provides evidence of an absence of sea ice, and therefore open waters, in the Fram Strait, the northernmost part of the Greenland Sea.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Arctic sea ice usually reaches its lowest extent of the year in September. In 2021, according to data published by the US National Snow and Ice Data Center, the extent of Arctic sea ice will be one of the highest in the last decade; however, the distribution of ice is not uniform across the Arctic. Sea ice in the Greenland Sea is currently, in fact, at an all-time record low. This image, acquired by the radar onboard one of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites on 19 September, provides evidence of an absence of sea ice, and therefore open waters, in the Fram Strait, the northernmost part of the Greenland Sea. Open data provided by Copernicus products and services allow for the development of authoritative assessments of the state of sea ice coverage in polar regions.
