Snow Returns to Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest peak, has seen its first snowfall after one of the longest periods without snow since records began 130 years ago. 

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission captured this image of Mount Fuji’s iconic snowcap on Nov. 7, 2024, a day after snow was first spotted by the Japan Mereological Agency’s Shizuoka branch. 

Sentinel-2 carries a high-resolution multispectral imager to deliver optical images from the visible to the shortwave-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
