NASA’s temporary ice-observation mission is going stronger than ever

By Kevin McGwin, The Arctic Journal March 16, 2017

If Greenland’s ice sheet were to disappear entirely some day, it would reveal the world’s longest canyon, stretching northward some 750 kilometers (about 470 miles) from the center of the island. We know this thanks to observations made by Operation IceBridge, which has been operated by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Admiistration since 2009.
