The Arctic Delta

Lena river delta, source: NASA earth observatory

A very short summer in the arctic.

This animation is created with images between 3rd to 10th June, 2019 from MODIS on the Aqua satellite. During this period in the arctic Lena delta, relatively warm water flows towards the Laptev sea, an arm of arctic ocean and awakens the delta. The delta remains a frozen tundra for seven months annually.
