Ellesmere Island (Canada) and Greenland North Coast

Ice clogs the waters between Greenland and Canada´s Ellesmere Island in this true-color Terra MODIS image acquired on July 5, 2003. Ellesmere Island occupies the upper right portion of the image, Greenland the middle left. The narrow strip of water that separates the two islands connects the frozen Arctic Ocean at the top of the image to the thawing Baffin Bay in the lower left.
