Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: By mid-summer each year, vibrant blue meltwater lakes dot the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet. These lakes, also known as melt ponds, store a large amount of fresh water throughout the season, and they are an important part of the ice sheet’s surface hydrology.
The images above were acquired on July 15, 2015, by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8. They show meltwater lakes on the ice near Greenland’s west coast, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of Ilulissat. Dark debris coats the ice surface in some areas.
