Arctic 70n 60e

Creative Rationale

Over the Arctic Ocean north of the Ural Mountains in Russia, this harsh polar landscape experiences moderate atmospheric pressure with significant gradients and light northwesterly winds. The temperature anomaly of 22.1K warmer than typical suggests an unusual Arctic warming event, which I interpret through layers of unexpectedly warm colors breaking through cool surface tones. The high humidity and moderate pressure gradient create a complex layered composition with multiple squeegee-like drags revealing deeper, warmer strata beneath the cold surface greys and blues.
