I see!

Thanks for explaining, guess it was my own cultural biases & preconceptions based on incomplete knowledge that led me to assume all that lush vegetation 🌾 was snow ❄️. Sorry! 😬

So if it’s infrared film all that indicates a lot of melty bits right?

Do you know if this is standard, or would this be showing the increased extent of melt due to climate change impact? 🤔🫠🌎

I find the red / pink / salmon 🍣 hued snow captivating and am surprised no one has discussed that!

I’d assume the red is some sort of algae or photosynthetic bacteria? 🦠🩸

Is this normally observed in this area?

Edit: just infrared, darn I need to skim better. Wish it was red algae! 😂
