      As days lengthen and air temperatures increase in late spring, the   
      wintery covering of sea ice worn by the Barents Sea begins to melt.   
      With daytime temperatures in Murmansk, Russia reaching 50˚F (10˚C)   
      since May 6, and nighttime lows above freezing since May 10, regional   
      melting has become more rapid in late May 2022. Murmansk is located to   
      the west of the area captured in this image.   
      
      The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board   
      NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the Barents Sea   
      on May 31. At that time, although most of the Barents Sea was open   
      water, thin filigrees of floating sea ice remained visible between the   
      round Kolguyev Island, in the west, and the Novaya Zemlya group of   
      islands in the northeast. The landmass sitting in the southeast belongs   
      to the Zapolyarny District of Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia. Fast ice   
      (ice clinging to a landmass) remains along Novaya Zemlya, the edges and   
      bays of the Zapolyarny District, and in a very few locations along the   
      northeastern and southwestern edges of Kolguyev Island. In the far   
      northeast, behind Novaya Zemlya, abundant sea ice remains in the Kara   
      Sea, although it is cracked and thinning.
