Movie ID Title
ICESat elevation data taken on June 2, 2006 is shown in orange. The underlying gray 'shadow' corresponds to where the elevation data lies on the surface.  The underlying MODIS data is a 3 day average taken in the month of December 2005. 3403 Antarctic Plumbing: Lake Englehardt's Subglacial Hydraulic System
 This image of the Jakobshavn glacier on 07/07/2001 shows the  changes in the glacier's calving front between 1851 and 2006.  Historic calving front locations, 1851 through 1964, were compiled by Anker Weidick and Ole Bennike and are shown here in gray.  Recent calving front locations, 2001 through 2006, derived from satellite imagery are show in colors.  A distance scale is provided. 3395 Jakobshavn Glacier Calving Front Recession from 1850 to 2006

Movie ID Title
This image compares the size of the continental United States to the size of Antarctica. 3540 Compare the size of Antarctica to the Continental United States
Full animation with labels - McMurdo Station is a science research center operated by the United States.  New Zealand's science station, Scott Base, is located just 5 km away from McMurdo Station. Ross Island is surrounded by floating ice called the Ross Ice Shelf and the McMurdo Ice Shelf. 3482 Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica Flyover of McMurdo Station and Dry Valleys Without any Vertical Exaggeration
High resolution LIMA data (15 meters per pixel) of the area where Ross Island meets the Ross Ice Shelf. 3418 Sample LIMA Data versus MOA Data of Ross Island
High resolution LIMA data (15 meters per pixel) of the area immediately surrounding McMurdo Station.  If you look really close in the foreground, McMurdo Station can be seen as a few white dots on the open rocky outcrop of Ross Island's peninsula.  The straight lines in the lower left corner of the picture are runways. 3417 Sample LIMA Data versus MOA Data of McMurdo Station
High resolution LIMA data (15 meters per pixel) of the area surround McMurdo Station. 3416 Sample LIMA Data versus MOA Data of the Area Surrounding McMurdo Station
High resolution LIMA data (15 meters per pixel) centered over Koettlitz Glacier. 3415 Sample LIMA Data versus MOA Data of Koettlitz Glacier
High resolution LIMA data (15 meters per pixel) centered over Ferrar Glacier. 3414 Sample LIMA Data versus MOA Data of Ferrar Glacier
ICESat elevation data taken on June 2, 2006 is shown in orange. The underlying gray 'shadow' corresponds to where the elevation data lies on the surface.  The underlying MODIS data is a 3 day average taken in the month of December 2005. 3403 Antarctic Plumbing: Lake Englehardt's Subglacial Hydraulic System
This animation is match framed to animation ID 3295.  It shows the crevasses and ice floes in the Ross Ice Shelf without using the ICESat topography. 3319 MODIS Mosaic of Antarctica sees the Ross Ice Shelf without ICESat Topography
This animation flys over the Thwaites Glacier exposing the line of grounded icebergs and into Pine Island Bay to view the Pine Island Glacier.  This animation does not use ICESat topography, but it is match-framed to animation ID 3294 which does have topography.
3318 MODIS Mosaic of Antarctica view of Pine Island and Thwaites Glacier without ICESat Topography
The MODIS Mosaic of Antarctica reveals the dynamic crevasses and ice flows in the Ross Ice Shelf. 3295 MODIS Mosaic of Antarctica sees the Ross Ice Shelf
