Summertime in Antarctica December 31, 2001 The Ross Sea has been somewhat cloud free lately, providing the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) with views such as this one from December 26, 2001. Note the deep green water; this is a highly productive part of the world’s oceans. Also note the ice gathered around McMurdo Sound. The ice is making it difficult for penguins to reach their food supply. image: the SeaWiFS Project, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, and ORBIMAGE
