Summary

Description

Icy water in the fjord of the Kangerdlugssuaq Glacier in eastern Greenland, as seen from NASA's P-3B aircraft on Apr. 14, 2012. The wire seen at the top of the frame is a high frequency radio antenna attached to the aircraft, and appears curved due to the use of a fisheye lens when taking the photograph.

IceBridge, a six-year NASA mission, is the largest airborne survey of Earth's polar ice ever flown. It will yield an unprecedented three-dimensional view of Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets, ice shelves and sea ice. These flights will provide a yearly, multi-instrument look at the behavior of the rapidly changing features of the Greenland and Antarctic ice.
