Airborne Mission To Study Changes In Polar Ice
Researchers and flight crew with NASA's Operation IceBridge, an airborne mission to study changes in polar ice, began another season of science activity with the start of the 2012 Arctic campaign on March 13. From mid-March through mid-May, a modified P-3 from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, VA, will conduct daily missions out of Thule and Kangerlussuaq, Greenland to measure sea and land ice.
