Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 19 September 2020 shows a rare cloud-free view of four of the most important glacial lakes of Patagonia: starting from the left, Lake Argentino, Lake Viedma, Lake San Martin and Lake Cardiel. These water bodies appear in electric blue and milky-blue tones due to multiple factors, including depth and to thick glacial flour - fine-grained, silt-sized particles created by the grinding of glaciers over rock - floating in the lakes waters. With a revisit time of five days on average at the Equator, the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites deliver crucial data that can be used to monitor the retreating of glaciers and effect of climate change on the glacial environment.
