Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Canada’s last fully intact ice shelf , it was estimated to have shrunk the remaining mass by 43 percent, losing more than 30 square miles of land area, which is bigger than the size of Manhattan.

Located in Canada’s largest and northernmost territory, Nunavut, the shelf is thought to have collapsed mostly because of above-normal temperatures for the region during July 2020, 9 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the established 30-year average. The Canadian Ice Service (CIS) also added that “off-shore winds and open water in front of the ice shelf are all part of the recipe for ice shelf break-up.” The European Space Agency’s (ESA)Sentinel-1 satellite - part of their Copernicus Earth Observation program - captured imagery of the ice breakage using the onboard synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensor to see through the area’s heavy cloud cover.

. The data from Sentinel is made available to NOAA through a partnership with the European Commission’s Copernicus Programme. In addition to detecting ice, the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensor on Sentinel-1 is used for measuring surface winds and detecting oil spills.
