Summary edit

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 23 October 2021, shows the hamlet of Rankin Inlet in the territory of Nunavut, Canada. Rankin Inlet is located at the northern end of Hudson Bay, close to the Arctic Circle. In October 2021, the area was hit by a record heat wave, making it the hottest October on record. Rankin Inlet recorded a monthly positive anomaly of +5.8 °C. According to the Canadian Ice Service, a slower formation of the new winter sea ice in the Canadian Arctic Ocean has been observed as a consequence of these record temperatures. Copernicus satellites and services provide open data that allow us to study the consequences of climate change around the world and develop mitigation and adaptation measures.
