Sunset from Antarctica! Our Operation #IceBridge mission began flying in 2009, but this year's Antarctic field campaign is the first time it's coordinating with our newly-launched #ICESat2 satellite. While IceBridge surveys the height of ice sheets from the sky, ICESat-2 measures them with lasers from space. During an Oct. 10 flight, the IceBridge team captured this photo of the Shackleton Range in Antarctica at sunset, with snow blowing off the ridges.
