The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe.
We've seen global temperatures set records over the last couple of years.
The Arctic is one of the most iconic and visible indicators of this change as we've seen the sea ice decrease.
NASA is keeping a close eye on these changes both by airborne instruments, satellite measurements and other field research.
In 2018 NASA will launch the ICESat-2 satellite.
ICESat-2 will mark a tremendous advancement in our capabilities to measure sea ice and ice sheet changes using lasers.
Our planet is changing and NASA is on it.
