The Nov. 4 Operation Ice Bridge flight cross-crossed the Antarctic Peninsula to survey glaciers flowing down mountain valleys to feed the floating ice shelves. Some amazing low-altitude views on this one!

Documentary Description


NASA is embarking on an airborne campaign to the southern end of the world -- Antarctica -- to study the massive ice sheets on that continent. "Operation Ice Bridge" gets underway today, and NASA is going to take you there. See what we've got planned. Operation Ice Bridge, a six-year NASA field campaign, 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.
