A Tour of the Cryosphere: The Earth's Frozen Assets Animation
  The cryosphere has a global reach, extending beyond the polar regions. It consists of those parts of the Earth's surface where water is found in solid form, including areas of snow, sea ice, glaciers, permafrost, ice sheets, and icebergs. NASA Earth Observing satellites are providing scientists with unparalleled insight into how the cryosphere behaves, how it is changing, and what implications those changes have on the Earth's global systems, including weather and climate.
This 8-minute feature animation takes the viewer on a tour of the cryosphere as it exists around the world. From shrinking Arctic sea ice to retreating glaciers and collapsing Antarctic ice shelves, this unique global view of cryospheric research is shown with state-of-the-art Earth observing satellite data animations.
