About this work

iss071e046021 (April 27, 2024) -- Off the coast of Newfoundland, NASA astronaut Mike Barratt captured this image of sea ice as the International Space Station orbited 258 miles above the North Atlantic Ocean. The sea ice appears in swirls floating on the ocean's surface. From the orbiting laboratory's unique vantage point, astronauts can observe events on our home planet that are otherwise impossible to witness on the ground.
