Labrador Morning

A long line of "ice swirls," churned by ocean currents just off the Labrador coast, caught an astronaut's eye earlier this month. So the anonymous astronaut took a photo of the spiraling sea ice, photographed from their vantage point on the International Space Station. A NASA satellite also recorded the sea ice swirls in the Labrador Sea and both photos are highlighted on NASA's "Earth Observatory" blog.
