Title: Copernicus Sentinel-2 observes land fast and fjord ice

Description: On 19 April 2019 at 13:27 UTC, Copernicus Sentinel-2A acquired this image over the Svalbard Brøggerhalvøya Peninsula. The islands in the fjord are attached to the mainland through land fast ice that floats on top of the water. Some bits have broken off its edge and are now floating within the fjord, moved around by the waves and wind.
