St. Peters Harbour, 2017-2026

The Copernicus Browser can be used to browser through current and historical satellite imagery: think of it like the Google Maps “Satellite” layer, more up to date, but with less resolution.I zoom in to St. Peters Harbour, on Prince Edward Island’s north short, and grabbed images from every August from 2017 to 2026, and chained them together in a movie: The movie shows the rather dramatic changes the channel into St. Peters Harbour has gone through over the last decade, more more dramatic than the different between last year and this year.In recent memory you’ve been able to walk right up to the old wharf/breakwater at the mouth from the adjoining beach; now the navigation channel runs between.For more on this, read The Disappearing Harbour: Navigating the Environmental History of St. Peters Harbour, Prince Edward Island by Barbara Palmer Rousseau.
