Fig. 5.5 Map representing the analysis of the glaciers realized by The Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) from Sankt Petersburg (Russia), in
2011–2015 compared to 2008–2010. Legend of figure:
light blue shows where the open sea is,
dark blue is for water covered with very thin ice,
pink is for
young ice between 0–30 cm
thick, green is for first-year ice with a thickness of 30–200 cm and
white for the rapid melting of ice. The
brown color is for old ice
that survived at least one melting season, and it is this that interests us most, while white is the fast ice melting (Web 5, 6)
