Title : Cloud vortices off Jan Mayen Island, Greenland Sea

Caption :

A few hundreds miles off the east coast of Greenland, Norway´s Jan Mayen Island (bottom left) makes a bright white speck amid swirls of clouds over the Greenland Sea in this image from the satellite on June 28, 2003. At upper left, sea ice is visible beneath a veil of clouds and northeast of Jan Mayen Island, vortices spin the clouds into classic whirlpool shapes.
