At the end of the winter, sea ice in the Arctic starts melting and swirling. The mesmerising shapes are formed as the sea ice, suspended in the highly salted sea water, is transported along the dynamic currents.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: At the end of the winter, sea ice in the Arctic starts melting and swirling. The mesmerising shapes are formed as the sea ice, suspended in the highly salted sea water, is transported along the dynamic currents. This image acquired by a Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite on 20 April shows these melt dependent characteristic swirls off the eastern coast of Greenland. Copernicus satellite data is key for ensuring the safety of arctic shipping lanes and for monitoring the impact of Climate Change on Arctic sea ice extent
