Summary

Description
English: This photo-like image captures clouds hugging the east coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula while skies inland remained clear. The clear skies revealed a landscape thawing out from winter’s chill. Neatly skirting the peninsula, the clouds over the Bering Sea and the southern part of the Sea of Okhotsk present a textured landscape of their own. Arcs of clouds push up against the coastline, fanning out along the shore. Rather than showing a uniform thickness, the clouds vary from opaque to almost transparent, with a few areas of clear skies revealing deep blue ocean water. On the peninsula, brown-green land surrounds what remains of the snow cover.
