This is a conceptual animation showing how polar ice reflects light from the sun.  As this ice begins to melt, less sunlight gets reflected into space.  It is instead absorbed into the oceans and land, raising the overall temperature, and fueling further melting. 10160 Global Ice Albedo ALTERNATE
This animation illustrates the dynamics of the network of subglacial lakes far beneath the ice streams of Antarctica. 10108 Antarctic Sub-glacial Lakes
This is the high definition version of the Ice Albedo-Global animation MPEG. 10021 Ice Albedo - Global View
