We present a summary of validation efforts of MODIS land surface temperature (MOD11A1, MYD11A1) using in-situ observations from the high-arctic sites Ny-Ålesund (79 °N) and Austfonna ice cap (80 °N) on Svalbard, as well as Samoylov Island in NE Siberia (72 °N). For all three sites, multi-year time s...
