Slideshow of up-to-date Utqiaġvik area observations, satellite images, and trails

MODIS satellite image taken May 14, 2020 showing sea ice around Utqiaġvik and red lines representing the ice trails.

We are working hard to keep Utqiaġvik satellite imagery updated at this slideshow website. We will post the latest AAOKH observations, MODIS and SAR imagery as well as comparisons of ice cover to previous years. Trails are being mapped, and will be added – note trails may change or be incomplete as the season changes.

We’re sending our best for a safe and successful whaling season!
