Flight lines (black) are shown for the 2010 campaign over Arctic sea ice and Greenland's land ice.Many flights target outlet glaciers along the coast where NASA's Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) shows significant thinning. Blue and purple colors, respectively, indicate moderate to large thinning.
