Image of the Week - Antarctica’s Blue Ice
Detailed Description
Antarctica’s interior is circled by glacial ice flows that move outward from the frozen continent’s surface.
Imagery collected over Antarctica by satellites like Landsat is typically marked by highly reflective snow and ice, but isolated pockets of wind-swept glacial ice glow with a distinct blue.
Each week, the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center highlights a new satellite image(s) featuring striking changes to the Earth's surface. Our images come from locations around the world.
