Robert Bindschadler's Antarctic Blog
12.13.07 -- NASA's Robert Bindschadler wrote a blog during his latest trip to Antarctica on a quest to carry out experiments at Pine Island Glacier. The blog details his journey to learn more about why the glacier's ice shelf is experiencing accelerated thinning of its ice, causing an impact on sea level.
2008 Arctic Sea Ice Concentration Map
03.18.08 -- Using the latest satellite observations from early 2008, NASA researchers and others report that the Arctic is still on 'thin ice' when it comes to the condition of sea ice cover in the region. This ice concentration map from March 9, 2008, shows maximum extent of sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere.
Arctic Sea Ice Distribution by Age
03.18.08 -- The sea ice in the Arctic is much younger than normal, with vast regions now covered by first-year ice. The left image shows February distribution of ice by its age during normal Arctic conditions (1985-2000 average), and the right illustrates February 2008 Arctic ice age distribution.

Inflatable Habitat Blog
01.17.08 -- Get the cold, hard facts about setting up an inflatable lunar habitat in Antarctica straight from the frigid fingers of Larry Toups, habitat lead for NASA's Constellation Program Lunar Surface Systems Office, as he keeps an online journal of the process during January 2008.
NASA Joins USGS to Produce Best-Ever Satellite Views Of Antarctica
03.07.07 -- Researchers from NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey have woven together more than a thousand images from the Landsat 7 satellite to create the most detailed high-resolution map ever produced of Antarctica.
NASA Earth Observations
02.25.07 -- Tracking regional and global changes around the world just got easier. NEO helps you picture climate change and environmental changes happening on our home planet. With NEO you can search for and retrieve satellite images of Earth, download them, and export them to GoogleEarth.

Background

NASA Views Landing Site Through Eyes of Future Moon Crew
02.27.08 -- NASA has obtained the highest resolution terrain mapping to date of the moon's rugged south polar region, with a resolution to about 656 feet (20 meters) per pixel.
NASA Satellite Reveals Unprecedented View of Mysterious 'Night-Shining' Clouds
12.10.07 -- NASA's Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere satellite has provided the first global-scale, full-season view of iridescent polar clouds that form 50 miles above Earth's surface.
NASA Sees Arctic Ocean Circulation About-Face
11.13.07 -- A team of NASA and university scientists has detected an ongoing reversal in Arctic Ocean circulation triggered by atmospheric circulation changes that vary on decade-long time scales. The results suggest not all the large changes seen in Arctic climate in recent years are a result of long-term trends associated with global warming.
