The Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway seen from space

This Sentinel-2 satellite image shows the highway that runs from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk in the Northwest Territories. The image is captured in late winter and the snow on the road has been cleared or melted, contrasting with the still snow-covered landscape. 

Satellites track the movement of lake and river ice, helping to ensure the safety of highways and ice roads across the Canadian Arctic. (Credit: Sentinel-2)
