Zoom in on sea ice


Time for some adventure!  We're going to take an exciting journey through the sea ice.  We'll start by flying 20,000 m up in the air.  As you zoom in closer and closer, we'll come crashing down to the surface of the ice.  We won't stop there, though; you'll even get to go inside the ice.  Usually, only scientists with high-tech equipment get to see the ice this closely.  To continue your adventure, read the caption and then choose your destination.



This picture is 10 m across. The photograph was taken by a person standing on the surface of the ice. It shows two researchers taking measurements on Arctic sea ice in July.  The ice has melted so much it is a good idea to wear a life jacket, in case you fall in!
