Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 26 July 2020, shows the very significant discharge of sediment in the Arctic Ocean from the melting of glaciers around Longyearbyen, Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. Longyearbyen is a settlement located in the Arctic circle (78 ° 13′ N 15 ° 33 ′ E) which, with its 2,144 inhabitants, is the northernmost inhabited settlement with more than 1,000 inhabitants in the world. The average temperatures during the summer in the area are generally between 3 and 7°C, but due to the exceptional heatwave that is affecting the Arctic in the summer of 2020, they reached 21.7°C on 25 July, the new record temperature ever recorded for the area. Data acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel satellites are used to detect changes in land surfaces in high detail even at northern latitudes and monitor the glaciers melting.
