Melt ponds
by Michael Tjernström, Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University, Stockholm , Sweden
Ponds of melted freshwater (snow) on top of sea ice in the Arctic in summer. Also note the haze in the distance; such haze is rare in the Arctic and appears here because of the relative proximity to land in combination with offshore winds.
