In several expeditions, SAR images were transferred to icebreakers and ships travelling in the Arctic. The results of this work, which have demonstrated the benefits of using satellite data to support Arctic shipping, have been published in several papers and a book [Johannessen et al, 2000, 2007]. In the last decade, a large number of SAR images from ENVISAT and RADARSAT-2 have been collected and analysed by scientists, showing SAR images can be used to classify ice types, estimate ice concentration and detect icebergs and other dangerous ice phenomena [e.g.
