NASA | From the Cockpit: Arctic Sea Ice with Commentary

The video discusses NASA's Operation Icebridge, focusing on its missions over the Arctic's ice sheets, glaciers, and sea ice. It highlights the Cryosat mission, which measures sea ice thickness using radar altimetry. The video also covers the Laxon Line mission, profiling sea ice across the Arctic Ocean, and operations from Fairbanks, Alaska, which provide insights into climate change impacts on sea ice. The North Pole transect is explored to understand ice thickness variations and their implications for climate change.
