(CNN) New satellite images from NASA show that Canada's St. Patrick Bay ice caps have completely disappeared. The very hot temperatures in the summer of 2015 reduced the longevity of the St. Patrick's Bay ice caps. There are other glaciers near the now gone St. Patrick's Bay ice caps, such as the Murray and Simmons ice caps, which sit at a higher elevation. The disappearance of the St. Patrick's Bay ice caps is "an exclamation point of what's happening in the Arctic," Serreze added. Satellite images taken in July 2020 show the disappearance of the St. Patrick's Bay ice caps.
