Largest Airborne Survey of Polar Ice
During the next 6 years Operation Ice Bridge, with Physical Oceanography Professor Seelye Martin as Chief Scientist, will use aircraft to conduct what NASA says is the largest airborne survey ever made of ice at the Earth's polar regions. The plan is to map key areas in each polar region once a year. Follow their blog, part of the project's overall Web site at http://www.espo.nasa.gov/oib/.
