Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 7 May 2021, shows winter ice starting to melt in an area of Lake Baikal (Russia). Lake Baikal is an immense freshwater expanse of 31,722 square kilometres under UNESCO protection. It is known for its unique ecosystems and pristine drinking water. Due to climate change, the lake's surface temperature during the summers of recent years has increased significantly, triggering numerous surface eutrophication effects and threatening the biodiversity of this fragile and precious ecosystem. The Open Data provided by the Copernicus programme allows to assess the health status of water bodies worldwide.
