Satellite View of Graham Land - Antarctica

Handout Satellite views dated on November 21, 2025, shows Graham Land. Graham Land, the northernmost stretch of the Antarctic Peninsula, is one of the most rapidly warming regions on Earth. Its mountainous spine and outlet glaciers drain into the Weddell Sea, forming an important transition zone between grounded ice, floating shelves, and open water. This dynamic landscape supports rich marine ecosystems, including krill-dependent species such as seals, penguins, and seabirds, and plays an important role in global ocean circulation and climate regulation. This Copernicus Sentinel-1 image, acquired on 21 November 2025, shows the contrasting textures of grounded ice, fragmented sea ice, and dark, open ocean, revealing key glaciological features in radar backscatter. Copernicus data is essential to climate science. A recent study published in Nature used Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data to analyse glacier dynamics in Graham Land, Antarctica.

15 Days After The Passage Of The DANA Over Valencia

Firefighters work to drain the water that accumulates on November 13, 2024, in Paiporta, Valencia, Valencian Community (Spain). On October 29, a DANA hit the province of Valencia. The country's worst cold drop in a century claimed 215 lives, and 23 people were reported missing. While the population tries to recover from the tragedy, the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has activated a new orange alert for the arrival of a new DANA that will arrive from this afternoon-evening to Valencia and could leave ''very heavy and persistent'' rainfall. Although this time the alert is orange and not red, many municipalities have taken preventive measures such as the suspension of classes or the installation of sandbags as a preventive measure against overflowing rivers.
