Fascinating patterns on the water in the Strait of Hormuz (Apr 22, 2026). On the upper right it looks to me like there's a contrail from fast moving aircraft near the surface of the water (maybe). Large ship going left to right. What the heck is going on with the water's surface, is what i want to know... green stuff -- algae? white stuff-? Not what you normally see in Southern California. It seems to be on the surface as the ship is disturbing the pattern... "sea snot" algae?

The sea ice factory: the North water polynya has a very far northern boundary in the Kane basin this year. #EarthArt #SeaIce #Copernicus #EObrowser #polynya #Greenland

I'm not doing #fieldwork in #Greenland this year: but my colleagues are up there now. The sea ice off #Qaanaaq is breaking up extra early again this year - probably related to the ice arch migrating up the Nares
Straits. Will be interesting to see how far the edge migrates in any case - ESA's #Sentinel2 on #Copernicus #EOBrowser is a brilliant way to keep track

Situated in the southern Aegean Sea, #Anafi is a small island with rugged terrain, sparse vegetation and a largely undeveloped coastline.

#Sentinel2 data support monitoring of coastal dynamics and shoreline change across remote Mediterranean islands.
