Title Global View of the Arctic and Antarctic on September 21, 2005
Abstract In support of International Polar Year, this matching pair of images showing a global view of the Arctic and Antarctic were generated in poster-size resolution. Both images show the sea ice on September 21, 2005, the date at which the sea ice was at its minimum extent in the northern hemisphere. The color of the sea ice is derived from the AMSR-E 89 GHz brightness temperature while the extent of the sea ice was determined by the AMSR-E sea ice concentration. Over the continents, the terrain shows the average landcover for September, 2004. (See Blue Marble Next Generation) The global cloud cover shown was obtained from the original Blue Marble cloud data distributed in 2002. (See Blue Marble:Clouds) A matching star background is provided for each view. All images include transparency, allowing them to be composited on a background.

Title Antarctic Plumbing: Lake Englehardt's Subglacial Hydraulic System
Abstract ICESat satellite laser altimeter elevation profiles from 2003-2006 collected over West Antarctica reveal numerous regions of temporally varying elevation. MODIS satellite imagery over roughly the same time period collaborates where these subglacial fluctuations have occurred. These observations have led scientists to conclude that subglacial water movement is happening in this lake region, revealing a widespread, dynamic subglacial water system that could provide important insights into ice flow and the mass balance of Antarctica's ice.

Title Antarctic Iceberg Breaks Up Ice Sheet
Abstract The B-15A iceberg has collided into a neighboring ice sheet. This collision has caused the ice sheet to break up into smaller parts. The B-15A iceberg has been blocking shipping lanes and the feeding grounds of 3,000 Adele penguins, for over 4 years.
