This video demonstrates how the second generation of the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat-2) is being used to map the ice structures in the world’s polar regions. Students learn how manipulating the distribution of photons by lasers to create accurate images of these frozen structures allows scientists to study their changes and impact on Earth’s climate.
