Summary

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.
中文:北極地區衛星圖像。衛星觀察北極地區海冰面積最小的紀錄發生於2012年9月16日,當日面積驟降至341萬平方公里。這幅圖片展示的是兩週前的相同地區,圖中可以見到浮冰群的邊緣和破碎地帶,但部份地區則被雲層所遮蔽。
Български: Спътникова фотография на Арктика, получина от поредица изображения, направени от сателита Suomi NPP на 2 септември 2012 г. На снимката ясно се вижда ръбът на ледената шапка и някои напукани области от нея. Много детайли обаче остават закрити от гъсти облаци.
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.
