Summary

Description
English: The Antarctic Peninsula is the northernmost part of Antarctica, where scientific and military bases of several countries are located, including those of Argentina, Chile and Great Britain. According to researchers at the Chilean Air Force's Frei Base (Antarctica), 2020 has been the hottest year in the Antarctic Peninsula in the past three decades, with temperatures more than 2 degrees Celsius over typical values for the area. This image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 9 February 2020, shows a rare cloud free view of the northernmost part of the Antarctica peninsula, a few days before that the record temperature of 20.75 ° C was reached on Seymour Island. Launched in 2016 and 2018, the two Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites are looking at our oceans, land, ice, and atmosphere to better understand and monitor large-scale global dynamics and to provide critical information for climate change.
