How to make a square snowflake
Want to make square snowflakes? Scientists have created a new type of ice they call "square ice," which forms a cube-shaped pattern, with water molecules arranged in neatly aligned rows. Scientists formed these crystals – which occur at room temperature – by squeezing tiny amounts of water

Mapping Ice with Airborne Lasers
Determining whether polar ice quantities are growing or shrinking requires accurate and detailed measurements, year over year. To help make those measurements, IceBridge mission aircraft fire 3,000 pulses of laser light every second at the frozen landscape below. Scientists time how long i

NASA | IceBridge Kicks Off Campaign with “New” Aircraft
NASA’s Operation IceBridge is back in the field, but this time, there’s a twist. Instead of using the P-3 or DC-8 aircraft from previous campaigns, they’ve outfitted a C-130 cargo plane for the trip. Science flights begin this week as the mission studies Arctic sea ice, ice caps, glaciers,

Iceberg movements create eerie songs
Researchers have recorded and sped up the sounds that icebergs make as they scrape past each other, after an earthquake or as they break up. The resulting music makes for eerie listening. Read more: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn14286-embracing-icebergs-sing-eerie-duets/
