Remote Study of Ice - Polar Region

By Nilay Sharma

Polar ice consists of sea ice formed from the freezing of seawater, and ice sheets and glaciers formed by the accumulation and compaction of solid precipitation in the form of snow. Both types of ice extend over vast areas of the Polar Regions. Monitoring and study of the Polar Regions present great logistic difficulties due to harsh, cold, windy and inhospitable environmental conditions existing there. Above all, the Polar Regions remain do not get proper solar illumination for half of the year. Thus, most of the Polar Regions remain under-explored. Remote sensing from the satellites or from the airborne sensors plays an important role in collecting information about these regions.
