Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Today will mark a crucial step towards the protection of Antarctica, as the European Commission and international partners will discuss the way forward in the creation of large-scale Marine Protected Areas in the waters of the white continent. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 7 January 2021, shows the sea off the Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf in the eastern Weddell Sea - Antarctica. The view captures large sea ice floes being pushed away from the continental shelf by wind action. This area is an important biodiversity hotspot for Antarctica. A colony of more than 4,000 Emperor Penguins has been observed in the area during the nesting period. The Copernicus Sentinel satellite open data and the information products from its Climate Change and Marine Environment Monitoring services will be available to provide authoritative and science-based knowledge to inform policy-making and monitor implementation measures.
