[:ja]極地方の氷床と海氷を観測するNASAのプロジェクトOperation IceBridgeで撮影された北極地方チュクチ海の解氷池です。
NASA GISS(ゴダード宇宙科学研究所)の発表によると、2016年上半期の地球の平均気温は、記録のある1880年の観測開始以来最も高くなり、19世紀後半から1.3度上昇していると判明しました。
真夏の北極海の海氷面積は1970年代から4割も減少しています。海氷減少のアニメーションとNASAの科学者による説明はこちらです。

[Earthview Wonders] No.34: Melt Ponds of Arctic Sea
NASA’s polar ice monitoring project Operation IceBridge captured this melt pond in the Arctic Chukchi Sea.
According to NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), first 6 months of 2016 marked the warmest record since 1880, with average temperature 1.3C warmer than the late 19th century.
Further, sea ice at the peak of summer covers 40% less area than it did in the late 1970s. This is the animation and explanation given by NASA scientists.
