ICESat-2 Adds the Third Dimension to Earth | NASA
ICESat-2 will provide scientists with height measurements that create a global portrait of Earth's third dimension, gathering data that can precisely track changes of terrain including glaciers, sea ice, forests and more. The single instrument on ICESat-2 is ATLAS, the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System, will measure melting ice sheets and investigate how this effects sea level rise, investigate changes in the mass of ice sheets and glaciers, estimate and study sea ice thickness, and measure the height of vegetation in forests and other ecosystems worldwide.

Trip to Shiant Isles

#nature #ScotlandIsNow #holiday #canon #naturephotography #coast #Skye #mountains #sea #birds #birdphotography #westernisles

Left from Stein on Skye by RIB and crossed the Minch towards Harris for a visit to the distillery at Tarbert. After that it was back out again with the RIB to the Shiant Isles in the Minch, east of Harris. Rocks and sea stacks just before you reach the isles. Puffin paradise. Great trip with Sea Skye Marine.
