NASA 's ER-2 airplane took a photo of a large pool of water sitting on top of an Alaskan glacier.
The striking melt pond is around 2,300 feet ( 700 meters ) across at its widest point.
Similar melt ponds are becoming more common across the Arctic due to climate change.
The number of melt ponds that appear each summer is a good predictor of a year 's minimum sea ice extent.
