| Description |
A stream of runoff from the Greenland ice sheet begins its journey to the ocean. This area of Greenland is home to Summit Station, an NSF-supported research station located atop 3,200 meters (10,000 feet) of ice (and nearly 400 kilometers from the nearest point of land) at the peak of the Greenland ice sheet. Summit Station is the home of the Greenland Environmental Observatory (GEOSummit), which conducts year-round climate monitoring of key climate variables--conducted to study air-snow interactions--the knowledge of which is crucial for interpreting data from ice cores drilled in the area and elsewhere. This image is one of a series on Summit Station in the NSF Multimedia Gallery. Credit: Peter West, National Science Foundation |
