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. Credit: Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2020),
