Aerial survey to help determine ice loss in West Antarctic region. Three years ago, Ian Joughin found himself bobbing up and down in a dinghy on a glacial lake in Greenland to learn more about the subglacial plumbing of the ice sheet. About 10 days later, the lake drained away into a crack with a force greater than Niagara Falls - in about 90 minutes.
