Summary
[edit]DescriptionCharcot Island, Antarctica.png |
English: This image is made from thermal infra-red data collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite. (A photo-like image isn’t possible at this latitude in the winter because of polar darkness). This greyscale image shows relative differences in surface temperature. Dark grey indicates relatively warm temperatures and white indicates relatively cold temperatures. Remnant ice shelf east of Latady Island appears white, as does some of the sea ice between Charcot and Latady Islands. Charcot Island’s nearly black perimeter indicates an area of relatively open ocean that could be navigated by ship. In addition, an area of relatively warm ocean water appears off the western end of Latady Island. |
