Caption

As the Arctic warms rapidly, cloudy meltwater pours into its numerous fjords, obscuring sunlight and posing uncertainties for marine life in the far north. This image, taken using an aerial drone in a remote fjord in northeast Greenland, shows scientists onboard a 10 m-long research vessel sampling a meltwater runoff plume.
