Description
August 27, 2009 - Ice clogged some but not all of the Northwest Passage, and snow had retreated from most of the islands in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Although Parry Channel appears partially ice free, especially in the east, sea ice spans most of McClure Strait, blocking the northern, or preferred, route through the Northwest Passage.Snow-free land surfaces allow a view of the islands’ topography. While the western end of Baffin Island appears flat and almost featureless, dramatic stripes cross Bathurst Island in the northwest. These approximately east-west stripes result from layers of exposed bedrock, likely tilted by a mountain-building event in the mid-Mesozoic Era. Snow-free landmasses vary in color from beige to brown. Cold temperatures, persistent snow cover, and short growing seasons limit tree growth so far north, leaving the islands coated with tundra.
