Where global warming gets real: inside Nasa's mission to the north pole
Description: The crew of Nasa's Operation IceBridge have seen Arctic ice from every imaginable angle. IceBridge is an aerial survey of the polar regions that has been underway for nearly a decade - the most ambitious study of its kind to date. It has yielded a growing dataset that helps researchers document, among other things, how much, and at what rate, ice is disappearing from the poles, contributing to global sea-level rises, and to a variety of other phenomena related to climate change.
