At the southern end of the Earth, a NASA plane carrying a team of scientists and a sophisticated instrument suite to study ice is returning to surveying Antarctica. For the past eight years, Operation ...

For eleven years from 2009 through 2019, the planes of NASA's Operation IceBridge flew above the Arctic, Antarctic and Alaska, gathering data on the height, depth, thickness, flow and change of sea ...

A new dataset called Bedmap2 gives a clearer picture of Antarctica from the ice surface down to the bedrock below. Bedmap2 is a significant improvement on the previous collection of Antarctic ...

This image displays NASA's DC-8 research aircraft over the Pacific ocean during a trip to Chile. Operation IceBridge is in it's fourth year of an airborne mission to study Earth's changing polar ice.

A photo from the window of NASA's DC-8 shows the rift across the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf running off toward the horizon. The plane flew across the crevasse on Oct. 26, 2011 as part of NASA's ...

On March 14, the P-3B carried Operation IceBridge scientists and instruments from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Va., to Thule Air Base in Greenland, where the Arctic 2011 campaign ...

GREENBELT, MD – NASA’s Operation IceBridge, an airborne survey of polar ice, successfully completed its first Greenland research flight of 2015 on March 19, thus launching its seventh Arctic campaign.

Unearthing a relic from the Cold War era, NASA’s Operation IceBridge has discovered Camp Century, a clandestine US military base buried beneath the ice shelf of Greenland. The base, preserved under ...

Usually when we think of icebergs, we don't imagine perfect geometric shapes. But that's exactly what NASA captured in an image posted on Twitter of an iceberg in what appears to be the shape of a ...

NASA's Operation IceBridge, a survey of ice conditions in the Arctic, Antarctic and Alaska, has completed its eleven-year operational program. The project involved airborne instrumentation carried ...
