Great Lakes from Space

Spectacular image captured on March 15, 2020, by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission of North America's Great Lakes: Lake Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. A large quantity of ice and snow coverage is visible north of the lakes, yet the amount of ice cover on the lakes is minimal - extremely unusual for the ice season which typically runs from December 1 through April 30.
