In commemoration of the end of the International Polar Year, Tom Wagner, NASA Cryosphere Program Scientist, appeared on television stations around the country on April 6, 2009. This video highlights his answers to questions about the IPY, climate change, and new data on the extent and thickness of sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='2009_Sea_Ice_Findings_Cap_IPY_transcript.htm'>here</a>. 10419 New Sea Ice Findings Cap Year of Focus on Poles
This guided tour of the area surrounding McMurdo Station in Antarctica uses the Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA). It's a great way to experience the frozen continent without any risk of frostbite.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='LIMA_wVO_transcript.htm'>here</a>. 10416 Guided Tour of LIMA Flyover
Arctic sea ice declined this summer to its second smallest extent in the satellite era, suggesting that the record set in 2007 may not have been an anomaly. If recent trends in the melt rate continue, we could see a virtually ice-free Arctic each summer much sooner than previously thought.<p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='SeaIce2008_transcript.htm'>here</a>.<p> 10353 Sea Ice 2008
Because of their high altitude, near the edge of space, noctilucent clouds shine at night when the Sun's rays hit them from below while the lower atmosphere is bathed in darkness. Also known as Polar Mesospheric Clouds or PMCs, they typically form in the cold, summer polar mesosphere and are made of water ice crystals. In April 2007 the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) Mission was launched with the express purpose of studying noctilucent clouds. 10002 Noctilucent Cloud Animation
