Nasa: A Tour of the Cryosphere: Earth's Frozen Assets

Curated by ACT

It has been said that the frozen parts of our planet, also known as the cryosphere, may be the proverbial 'canary in the coal mine' when it comes to climate change. This video shows some of the most dramatic fluctuations to our cryosphere in recent years using visuals created with a variety of satellite-based data. [5:12]
