As the northern hemisphere experiences the heat of summer, ice moves and melts in the Arctic waters and the far northern lands surrounding it. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of sea ice off Greenland on July 16, 2015.
Large chunks of melting sea ice can be seen in the sea ice off the coast, and to the south spirals of ice have been shaped by the winds and currents that move across the Greenland Sea. Along the Greenland coast, cold, fresh melt water from the glaciers flows out to the sea, as do newly calved icebergs. Frigid air from interior Greenland pushes the ice away from the shoreline, and the mixing of cold water and air allows some sea ice to be sustained even at the height of summer.
According to observations from satellites, 2015 is on track to be another low year for arctic summer sea ice cover. The past ten years have included nine of the lowest ice extents on record. The annual minimum typically occurs in late August or early September. The amount of Arctic sea ice cover has been dropping as global temperatures rise. The Arctic is two to three times more sensitive to temperature changes as the Earth as a whole.

✅ARABIC TATTOO'S STUDIO PRESENTS
HAPPY HALLOWEEN TATTOO
COMES WITH A DRESS AND BODY TATTOO AND FACE TATTOO
✔ STORE LM:
Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) - Le jeune apprenti [The young apprentice] (1918-1919). In the Walter-Guillaume Collection at the Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris.
Modi'in is an Israeli city located in central Israel, about 30 kilometres west of Jerusalem. The population about 100 thousend.
The Modi Khola Valley, located in the heart of the Annapurna Conservation Area in Nepal is a supremely cool place. After you leave the village of Deurali at 3200m, you head down into this spectacular place, with peaks soaring on all sides. As you walk up the valley, following the path of the river, Gangapurna (7455m) lies visible at the head, with Machhapuchare Base Camp your destination.
This shot was taken after a light snowfall in the early morning light. The sun had only just started rising over the peaks, leaving most of the valley in shadow.
This was a very challenging shot to process and I am still not 100% convinced I have it down pat. It is a blend of two exposures, with areas manually painted in using masking in Photoshop. After many hours of work, scrapping and restarting, I settled on this. Thoughts?

One of the highlights at Dublin in 2015, Air India 747-400 VT-ESO as "Air India One " with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on board, on a very brief half day state visit to Ireland.
Originating in New Dehli via Dublin enroute to the United Nations, it was a real treat as Air India does not serve Dublin nor does the 747 these days either.
Both arrival & departure during daylight hours & tipped off well in advance ensured everybody got their photos & really was an " Indian summer ".
Delivered to Air India in December 1993 & named Khajuraho.
In late February, 2013 the Aqua satellite passed over Scotland as the clouds parted, allowing the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying aboard to capture a clear image of the late winter landscape. This image was captured at 1320 UTC (1:20 in the afternoon local time) on February 27.
England makes up about the southern third of the image. The border between England and Scotland runs from the River Tweed on the east coast and the Solway Firth along the Cheviot Hills of the west coast. The Solway Firth is an estuary of the Irish Sea, and was filled with tan-colored sediment at the time of this image. Further north on the west coast of Scotland, the Firth of Clyde is hidden under a bank of low clouds (fog).
Scotland’s Southern Uplands lie just north of the border and the Central Lowlands just north of that. The Grampian Mountains are found in the center of the country, and the high peaks wear a covering of snow and ice year-round. Finally the Northern Highlands can be seen peeking out from under a large bank of clouds.
The Northern Highlands and the Grampian Mountains are separated by a striking feature - the Great Glen Fault. This is a 100 km-long strike-slip fault which runs from Moray Firth in the east to Fort William at the head of Loch Linnhe in the west. The Great Glen contains the United Kingdom’s deepest freshwater loch, the famous Loch Ness.

A massive phytoplankton bloom stained the waters of the Atlantic Ocean north of Iceland with brilliant jewel tones in late summer, 2014. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image on August 2. Huge colonies of the floating, plant-like organisms create swirls of green, teal and turquoise and cover over 80% of the visible ocean off the northeast coast of Iceland.
Marine phytoplankton require just the right amount of sunlight, dissolved nutrients and water temperatures which are not too hot, nor too cold to spark explosive reproduction and result in blooms which can cover hundreds of square kilometers. Phytoplankton form the base of the marine food chain, and are a rich food source for zooplankton, fish and other marine species. Some species, however, can deplete the water of oxygen and may become toxic to marine life.

NASA image acquired January 15, 2012
Snow rested on the land surface while ice rested on the sea surface in southwestern Alaska in mid-January 2012. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image on January 15. Pristine snow blankets the mountains and plains, and tendrils of sea ice fill Bristol Bay, which is surrounded by land on three sides. Arctic sea ice waxes and wanes throughout the year, and conditions fluctuate each season and year—including conditions in the Bering Sea. Although sea ice extent in mid-January 2012 was not at a record high, it was the highest ice extent in several years, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
North of the area in this image, in Nome, Alaska, harsh weather conditions hampered the delivery of much-needed winter fuel. A strong storm in November 2011 prevented the customary pre-winter fuel delivery, and thick sea ice hampered efforts to reach the area through mid-January. A Russian tanker finally succeeded in delivering fuel to Nome by January 16, 2012.
Overall, Arctic sea ice typically grows throughout the month of January, reaching its peak in late February or March. For animations of Arctic sea ice minimum and maximum extents, see the World of Change feature on Arctic sea ice.
