Description

This true-color image over the North Pole was acquired by the MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard the Terra spacecraft, on May 5, 2000. Such views of the North Pole are quite rare, as most of the time much of the region within the Arctic Circle is cloaked in clouds.

The sea ice appears almost white and areas of open water, or recently refrozen sea surface, appear nearly black. The irregular light shapes toward the bottom of the image are clouds, which are often difficult to distinguish from the Arctic surface. Notice the considerable number of cracks, or "leads," in the ice that appear as dark networks of lines. Throughout the region within the Arctic Circle, leads are continually opening and closing due to the direction and intensity of shifting wind and ocean currents. Leads are particularly common during the summer, when temperatures are higher and the ice is thinner.
