## Caption

Greenland is where it’s at. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And by “it,” we mean three of our different ice measuring missions — Operation #IceBridge, Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) and the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS). ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
IceBridge is in Greenland beginning a series of flights to measure sea ice and land ice during the summer melt season. OMG is studying the ocean’s effect on the island’s melt and AVIRIS is verifying how the satellite #ICESat2’s lasers are working to see melty ice. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In the last image, you can see all three planes meeting on the runway. ⁣⁣
