Video slate image reads, "Greenland Ice Changes (GIC 3)Shows the single flight path taken from the laser altimeter equipped aircraft in scene GIC 1. This scene picks up where scene GIC 1 leaves off (camera angles, lighting, etc. should be identical). Camera then moves eastward while keeping a low angle".
