The Polarstern research icebreaker imaged by the TerraSAR-X radar satellite
This is a section of an image captured by the TerraSAR-X radar satellite over the central Arctic. Open water appears black, sea ice grey. Various structures in the sea ice are visible due to different radar backscatter properties. Bottom left: The Polarstern research icebreaker with its clearly visible wake (white).
