Cryosphere Video Cryosphere
In a little more than seven minutes, NASA's "Tour Of The Cryosphere: Earth's Frozen Assets" leads viewers across the icy reaches of Antarctica, the drifting expanse of polar sea ice, the shrinking cap around the North Pole, and more. The tour conveys the interconnectedness of the cryosphere and the scientific importance of continued collection of this kind of data.
