"Coolest" NASA video: Tour of the Cryosphere

A new video from NASA uses images from multiple satellites to create composite images of the icy, snow-covered parts of the globe (e.g. the poles, mountaintops). The video shows the breakup of ice sheets and the impact of lower snowfall on vegetation in the subsequent summer.

CNN has a report here.

And you can watch the full video at NASA's website; look for "2009 Tour of the Cryosphere."

Thanks to my friend Cary for letting me know about this.
