Summary

Description
English: Image taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite. Courtesy of the MODIS Rapid Response Team at NASA GSFC: The water ranges from black to a rich blue-green tone, its colour intensified by the contrast between it and the winter white landscape around it. The green tones of the river are visible beneath the thin ice, which is semi-transparent. Thicker ice (solid white) is evident along the south shore. The bright white line on the north shore of the river is Highway 138. The road appears to be ice or snow-covered along this stretch, but Transports Québec reported that most of the road was clear.
