Subglacial Lakes Seen Refilling in Greenland
Scientists using satellite images and data from NASA’s Operation IceBridge have found evidence of a drained and refilled subglacial lake beneath northeastern Greenland’s Flade Ice Cap. This sub-ice body of water is only one of a handful that have been detected in Greenland and its presence sheds new light on how the Greenland Ice Sheet reacts to warming temperatures.

Airborne Radar Looking Through Thick Ice During NASA Polar Campaigns
The bedrock hidden beneath the thick ice sheets covering Greenland and Antarctica has intrigued researchers for years. Scientists are interested in how the shape of this hidden terrain affects how ice moves — a key factor in making predictions about the future of these massive ice reservoirs and their contribution to sea level rise in a changing climate.


NASA’s IceBridge Mission Contributes to New Map of Antarctica
Researchers using data from a wide array of sources, including ice-penetrating radar data from IceBridge, built a new map of Antarctica’s bedrock, seeing what lies beneath the frozen continent’s ice.
