海冰漩涡
NASA’s Terra satellite captured floating fragments of sea ice as ocean currents carried them south along Greenland’s east coast on June 4, 2024.
This ice traveled from the Fram Strait, a 450-kilometer (280-mile)-wide passage between Greenland and Svalbard, to the Arctic Ocean. Along the journey, it breaks into smaller pieces and starts to melt in warmer ocean waters, creating the wispy patterns seen here.

2024年6月4日，NASA的Terra卫星拍摄到了随着洋流向南漂移的格林兰岛东部海岸的海冰碎片。
这些海冰从格陵兰岛和斯瓦尔巴群岛之间450公里（280英里）宽的弗拉姆海峡流向北冰洋。在旅途中，它分裂成更小的碎片，并在较暖的海洋水中开始融化，形成了这里所看到的轻盈的图案。
