This image covers the Foxe Basin and the southern portion of Baffin Island (Canada) from northeast to southwest, and was processed from data acquired by the AATSR onboard Envisat on 28 January 2004. This is a nighttime thermal image of the Arctic. The ice is whitish blue in colour and covers the Foxe Basin (in the centre-right of the image); the land (covered by snow) appears to be deep blue or black in colour.
