NASA | Flying Low over Southeast Greenland

NASA's Operation Icebridge uses the P3B airborne laboratory to study glaciers. The video shows the pilot's view of glaciers, the use of scientific instruments to measure ice properties, and the transition from glacier to ocean. It highlights the return journey and features like calving fronts and crevasses.

How do the pilots view the ice bridges while flying over the glacier?

What is the significance of the P3B airborne laboratory in the study of glaciers?

What instruments do Icebridge scientists use to measure ice surface elevation and thickness?

Describe the changes in the landscape as the glacier empties into the ocean.

What do the crevasses in the ice indicate about the glaciers?
