Description
English: During June 2020, numerous temperature records were broken in the Arctic Circle. Among the most significant were 38°C in Verhojansk (Lat. 67°5'North, Siberia) on 19 June and 21.4°C in the settlement of Eureka (Lat. 79°59'North, Canada) on 27 June. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 27 June 2020, shows Eureka, Ellesmere Island, Qikiqtaaluk Region, in the Canadian territory of Nunavut. Eureka is inside the Arctic Circle and is one of the northernmost inhabited locations of the world. Copernicus Sentinel-2, with a maximum revisit time of five days, is very useful for monitoring the impact of climate change in such an important and delicate environment as the Arctic Circle.
