Operation IceBridge, NASA’s longest-running airborne mission to monitor polar ice change, concluded this year’s springtime survey of Arctic sea and land ice on May 2. The flights, which began on March 22, covered the western basin of the Arctic Ocean and Greenland’s fastest-changing glaciers.
This image was taken during a research flight carried out on April 21 near Vestfjord Glacier in Scoresby Sund, along the eastern coast of Greenland. The photo shows a large iceberg that has broken the surrounding layer of consolidated sea ice. Flat floes of sea ice with fresh snow on top, areas of open water that are beginning to refreeze and neighboring smaller icebergs are visible.
The mission of Operation IceBridge is to collect data on changing polar land and sea ice and maintain continuity of measurements between NASA’s ICESat missions. The original ICESat mission launched in 2003 and ended in 2009, and its successor, ICESat-2, is scheduled for launch in September 2018. Operation IceBridge began in 2009 and is currently funded until 2020.

It has, in the words of Homer Simpson, been a pretty lousy smarch here in Virginia (February was pretty gross, too). This past sunday was finally sunny, and despite the wind, I was happy to be trackside. CSX crews and Asplundh tree company have just completed a clear cutting of all the trees and brush at RO on the RF&P, opening up incredible views for the first time in years. In a picture perfect scene, Amtrak 203, the Operation life saver unit, takes a Virginia service regional south on a gorgeous afternoon passing early blooming cherry blossoms. It is indeed springtime in Virginia, and I am here for it.
We had ourselves a (sort of festive?) downtown walk/shoot yesterday!
This is one of those shots where we’d already had some pretty awesome results on the Polaroid during the shoot and were a little torn about whether to take another or not… we ultimately decided to and it ended up being this picture so clearly we made the right choice!
PS, can you tell we're excited about the weather warming up, making it possible to actually have shoots OUTSIDE?

First warm days in the garden. Taken with X-T1 and a vintage macro- lens (Panagor 55mm f/3 Super Macro 1:1)
My street is so pretty this time of year! I took this from my driveway.
