Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On July 5, 2016, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA's Aqua satellite flew over northern Canada and captured this striking true-color image of Nunavut. Sea ice clings to the Arctic lowlands of the Qikiqtaaluk (Baffin) Region as the warming weather and long sunny days have melted the ice on most of the gray-colored landscape. Located above the Arctic Circle, this is the land of the midnight sun, with long days of 24-hour daylight from May 18 until July 26. Summer temperatures typically range from 46 to 59˚F (8-15˚C). Winter temperatures, however, typically hover around a frigid -22˚F (-30˚C).
