View of the Transantarctic Mountains
This image of the Transantarctic Mountains was taken from the NASA P-3
airborne laboratory on Nov. 27, 2013, near the end of the 2013 IceBridge
Antarctic campaign.
NASA’s Operation IceBridge images Earth's polar ice in unprecedented detail
to better understand processes that connect the polar regions with the global
climate system. IceBridge utilizes a highly specialized fleet of research
aircraft and the most sophisticated suite of innovative science instruments ever
assembled to characterize annual changes in thickness of sea ice, glaciers, and
ice sheets. In addition, IceBridge collects critical data used to predict the
response of earth’s polar ice to climate change and resulting sea-level rise.
IceBridge also helps bridge the gap in polar observations between NASA's ICESat
satellite missions.
