Image title
Around the Nares Detroit - Canada - Greenland - Nares strait area - Canada - Greenland - This radar image from Envisat shows the northeast tip of Ellesmere Island (left) in the Canadian Arctic and the northwestern extremity of Greenland - the largest island on the planet (right). At the bottom of the image, the waters, which appear in green and purple, form the detroit of Nares, which flies north to form the Robeson Canal. It drains the Lincoln Sea (in the upper left corner) which is part of the Arctic Ocean. The white and blue area on the right side of the image is a portion of the Greenland ice cap, the second largest concentration of frozen fresh water on Earth after the Antarctic polar cap. The largest floating glacier in the northern hemisphere, the Petermann Glacier, is reddish in colour, and runs at the bottom of the image in the centre towards the detroit of Nares. The Petermann Glacier lost a 29 km2 block between July 10 and 25, 2008. Standard radar images are not in colour because they represent scattering rather than surface reflection of light. This composite image was made from three images acquired by Envisat's Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) aperture synthesized radar on different dates with a specific color associated with each to highlight the differences between them. Green is as of May 29, 2008, red as of August 7, 2008 and blue as of October 16, 2008. Envisat radar image featuring the northeastern tip of Ellesmere Island (left) in the Canadian Arctic and northwestern Greenland (right) - the world's largest island. The water (indicated by purple and green colours) pictured in the lower part of the image is Nares Strait.
