NASA | Operation IceBridge: Getz Mission in 3 Minutes

The video follows Operation Icebridge's mission to study the Antarctic ice shelf, focusing on the Gets Ice Shelf. It explores various forms of ice, including sea ice and icebergs, and examines the calving front where new icebergs form. The mission aims to understand the bathymetry below the ice shelf and the circulation of warm water that contributes to ice melting. Inland, the study includes extinct volcanoes and the dynamics of ice flow. The journey concludes with scenic views of the Antarctic Peninsula and a return to Chile.
