Summaryedit
| Description |
English: Satellite-based view of the Arctic. The images for this scene were captured on September 2, 2012, by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite. The composite was compiled from 14 orbits of the satellite and multiple imaging channels, then stitched together to blend the edges of each satellite pass. The record lowest minimum ever observed in the satellite record occurred on September 16, 2012, when sea ice plummeted to 3.41 million square kilometers (1.32 million square miles). This image shows the area two weeks earlier. The edges of the ice pack are reasonably visible, as are some fractured areas, but some details are obscured by clouds.
Polski: Satelitarny widok Arktyki. Rekordowe minimum, które kiedykolwiek zarejestrowały satelity, miało miejsce 16 września 2012 roku, gdy powierzchnia lodu morskiego gwałtownie zmniejszyła się do 3,41 mln km². To zdjęcie pokazuje ten obszar dwa tygodnie wcześniej. Krawędzie paku lodowego są w miarę widoczne, podobnie jak obszary spękanego lodu. Jednak niektóre szczegóły są zasłoniete przez chmury.
Português: Conjunto de imagens, capturadas pelo satélite meteorológico Suomi NPP em 2 de setembro de 2012, permite aos cientistas monitorar o declínio do gelo marinho do Ártico desde 1979.

Español: Vista satelital del Ártico. El mínimo histórico jamás observado en el registro del satélite ocurrió el 16 de septiembre de 2012, cuando el hielo marino se desplomó hasta 3,41 millones de kilómetros cuadrados. Esta imagen muestra el área dos semanas antes. Los bordes de la capa de hielo son razonablemente visibles, al igual que varias zonas fracturadas, bien que algunos detalles están oscurecidos por las nubes.
