Fjord in East Greenland Seen by NASA's Operation
IceBridge
This view of the frozen fjord downstream of Violingletscher (Violin Glacier)
in Østgrønland (East Greenland) was seen during an Operation IceBridge survey
flight on April 5, 2014.
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.
