Pine Island Glacier and Pine Island Bay
Pine Island Bay in the southeast Amundsen Sea, Antarctica, on 16 Nov 2008. Upwelling, melt-laden outflow plumes emerge from beneath the adjacent Pine Island Glacier ice shelf (top center) and mix in the bay waters. Warm red colors show sea surface temperatures more than a degree warmer than the near-freezing dark blue color. Cyclonic circulation in the bay is framed by the ice shelf, land ice and sea ice, in gray-scale with the darker shades colder. Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus image, thermal infrared (channel 6H), subset of scene #LE72331132008321EDC00.
