KuvausIce melting in Antarctica (ice-melting-antarctica).jpg
English: At the beginning of February 2020, a heatwave with record-breaking temperatures hit Antarctica. On 6 February, thermometers at the Esperanza Base recorded 18.3°C, and on 9 February 20.75°C was reported at Marambio station - the two hottest temperature on record for Antarctica. This warm spell caused widespread melting of nearby glaciers and parts of the ice cap. This image compares two acquisitions from Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites of 13 January and 12 February 2020. In the image from February, you can see melt ponds, sea ice melting and an unusual increase in the turbidity of the water. The process of ice forming and melting is an important indicator of climate change, and Copernicus Sentinel satellites play a vital role in the monitoring activities of Antarctica’s ecosystem.
