Ice: The Planets Thermostat
This animation begins with a view of Greenland as it may have looked 100,000 years ago. As the climate begins to change, glaciers surrounding the edge of Greenland begin to slump, then melt, adding billions of gallons of freshwater to the oceans. The humid air from the coasts rises to the interior, where it cools and dumps snow, thickening the ice sheets near the center of the land mass. (5.6 Mb no audio). Credit: NASA
