Summary
[edit]DescriptionRecord April temperature in Alert, Canadian Arctic.jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 30 April 2021, shows the Alert settlement in the Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada. Alert is the northernmost permanently inhabited place in the world, located at latitude 82°30′ north, at slightly more than 800 kilometres from the North Pole. On the very day this image was acquired, a temperature of +2.4°C was recorded in the settlement. If officially confirmed, this high temperature is likely to become the all-time record for Alert in the month of April, as the current record stands at -0.2°C. With their maximal revisit time of five days, Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites are an invaluable resource used to monitor the impact of climate change in important and sensitive environments such as the Arctic Circle. |
