This animation shows ice loss on Greenland via interpolated laser altimeter data. This animation has been match-moved to animations #583 and #582.

Video slate image reads, "Greenland Ice Changes (GIC 5)
Shows interpolated laser altimeter data over Greenland. This scene picks up where GIC 1 leaves off, and the first half of it matches the camera motion paths of GIC 3 and 4 allowing for ealy dissolves with these other two scenes. The camera then continues on to Greenland's east coast settling on the largest elevation decrease shown in the data."
