The SAR image shows, that open water is present in the upper left and in the lower right corner. In the central image, special rough-looking ice types are seen. A few bright areas are also seen in this area, and this is open water. Some grey contours are seen, which is probably mixtures of pancake ice and open water. On the south side of these features, dark new formed ice is seen. The almost homogeneous grey background is probably formed by mixtures of pancake ice and open water.
