Sea ice lines the coasts of Sweden and Finland in this satellite view
March 5, 2010 - Enough ice lines the coasts of Sweden (left) and Finland (right) in this natural-color image that it is difficult to tell where the coast ends and the sea begins. The sea ice envelops the islands that line this part of the coast, joining them to the shore. Only the sheltered water near Stockholm is partly free of ice. Dark water contrasts with the surrounding field of white snow and ice. Away from the coast, the Baltic Sea is sprinkled with bits of sea ice. A thin layer of clouds stretches over part of the scene, but the brighter ice is still visible beneath the clouds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning satellite view captures the mesmerizing beauty of Sweden and Finland's coasts, blanketed in a thick layer of sea ice. Taken on March 5,2010, the image showcases an incredible sight where it becomes challenging to distinguish between land and sea. The coastlines are completely enveloped by the frozen expanse, connecting the islands to the mainland. Only in Stockholm's sheltered waters can one spot patches of open water amidst this icy landscape. The contrast between dark seawater and the vast field of white snow and ice is truly striking. Even beneath a thin layer of clouds that stretches across parts of the scene, the brightness of the ice manages to shine through. As we move away from shorelines towards the Baltic Sea, scattered fragments of sea ice dot its surface. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder not only of nature's breathtaking artistry but also highlights environmental concerns such as global warming and climate change. It offers us a glimpse into how these Nordic countries are affected by shifting weather patterns and rising temperatures. With no human presence captured in this image, it allows us to appreciate Earth's natural wonders without any distractions or interference. This print from Stocktrek Images invites viewers to reflect upon our planet's delicate balance while marveling at its awe-inspiring landscapes shaped by forces beyond our control.
