00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,803
The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe.

2
00:00:03,803 --> 00:00:08,341
We've seen global temperatures set records over the last couple of years.

3
00:00:08,341 --> 00:00:14,681
The Arctic is one of the most iconic and visible indicators of this change as we've seen the sea ice decrease.

4
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:23,189
NASA is keeping a close eye on these changes both by airborne instruments, satellite measurements and other field research.

5
00:00:23,189 --> 00:00:27,293
In 2018 NASA will launch the ICESat-2 satellite.

6
00:00:27,293 --> 00:00:36,169
ICESat-2 will mark a tremendous advancement in our capabilities to measure sea ice and ice sheet changes using lasers.

7
00:00:36,169 --> 00:00:39,439
Our planet is changing and NASA is on it.
