VIDEO WITH MUSIC AND CAPTIONS 3181 A Tour of the Cryosphere
As the Jakobshavn Glacier discharges ice from its mouth, tributary ice streams show signs of acceleration. This series of Landsat images from 2002 shows rapid migration of ice features downstream, triggering adjacent land ice to accelerate downslope. A sequence of 7 Landsat images cycles at the end of the animation repeatedly to better see the flow. 3054 Jakobshavn Glacial Floe
This animation illustrates the dynamics of the network of subglacial lakes far beneath the ice streams of Antarctica. 10108 Antarctic Sub-glacial Lakes
