The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) has made a select set of
images viewable through the popular interactive desktop application,
Google Earth. Currently, Google Earth users can view images showing
permafrost, snow, sea ice extent, and photographs of glaciers.
Distribution of permafrost, snow, and ice are displayed as overlays on
the Google Earth base map. Snow and ice information are updated daily.

As virtual globes, such as Google Earth, are becoming increasingly
important, NSIDC is supporting the First Annual Virtual Globes
Scientific Users Conference in Boulder, Colorado, on 10-12 July 2006.
