Summary
[edit]DescriptionAmundsen Gulf (MODIS 2017-06-16).jpg |
English: On June 8, 2017, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured a stunning true-color image of ice break up in the Amundsen Gulf.
Sitting north of the Northwest Territory, Canada, the Amundsen Gulf separates the mainland from the Banks Island (north) and Victoria Island (northeast). Frigid temperatures typically keep the Gulf wearing a heavy coat of ice well into July, with ice break up as late as August in some years. Warm winter and spring temperatures have contributed to substantial break up in early June this year. |
