Resources A Tour of the Cryosphere Category: Arctic Ocean, Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, Changing Arctic Sea Ice, Climate Change: Arctic/Alaska and Global, For Educators Resource Type: Video/DVD Date Posted: 08/01/2010 This NASA video combines a variety of imagery from satellites to provide "fly-overs" of Earth from space to illustrate the features of the cryosphere and their dynamics: Sea ice cover, Antarctic ice sheets, glaciers, and snow cover with good 3-D relief. The video and text do a good job of fleshing out the concluding message:? "For many reasons, the cryosphere is important to the global climate." Also available as a YouTube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKRhy-oeqtM LINK (http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/environment/cryosphere.html) >> Back to Resources - Home
