Stupid question, but is this all sea ice or is there also cloud over the sea?
Some of it looks like cloud, but I’ve never studied how sea ice drifts can look/travel/disperse in satellite photos.
Just a bit more and we can start marching over the ice to Denmark again
The ice chart from Swedish Meterological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI):

In contrast to what it was like in the past, there is a story of Latvian peasants during 17th century deciding to DRIVE their carts with grain over the Baltic sea to Sweden to sell their grain there. Story says that they made it both ways with good profit.

A really good sea ice map made by the finnsh meteorological institute. Check it out if you would want to know more!
About 1,5 months left of that awful view
That’s extremely good news for the baltic sea, because it’s still way too warm. The cold weather also pushed lots of water from the baltic sea into the north sea and the water that will sweep back in will drastically improve conditions in the baltic sea (hopefully).
best year for seals who can give birth on sea ice, instead of small islands and beachrs
Okay now I’m wondering if any one goes ice-skating between Finland and Sweden during these conditions.
Our 50 million, second hand ice breaker can finally work!
can you walk to Finland over the ice from north Sweden?
We went to Rügen for the weekend a week ago and it was so cool. I have never walked on the Baltic sea before. It felt like I am in Greenland or something.
And it’s supposed to touch 20°C next week in Poland. The transition will be brutal
I’m in this pic! HI MOM!
This thread: Hahaha, this is great!
Meanwhile the AMOC: I’m getting old
Oh good so global warming is over. Trump was right I guess.
Just wait until the AMOC shuts down in a few decades…
Yes, global warming in full force :)))
Hello what about global warming that supposedly is critical
Beautiful photo! I can almost see my house (pointing)
