On Sunday, the Moderate Resolution
Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this
natural-color image of sea ice off the coast of East Antarctica’s
Princess Astrid Coast.
White areas close to the continent are
sea ice, while white areas in the northeast corner of the image are
clouds.
The image was acquired after Antarctic
sea ice had passed its annual minimum extent (reached on Feb. 20),
and had resumed expansion toward its maximum extent (usually reached
in September).
