Ice Center

Some of the most dramatic evidence of global climate change can be found in the Arctic. Over the last several decades, significant changes have been observed and measured there. This includes the disappearance of large areas of the normally persistent, thick, hard, multi-year ice, and a dramatic reduction of the summer ice extent.

In 2007, the summer minimum ice extent was 40 percent below the minima of the 1980s.

"Test conducted at NASA Langley Research Center's 20 foot Vertical Spin Tunnel. The test was conducted after an XB-70 experienced a mid-air collision." Silent. This test followed the crash of XB-70A No. 2 on June 8, 1966, which occurred when a F-104 Starfighter flown by NASA chief test pilot Joe Walker rolled inverted over the top of the XB-70, striking the vertical stabilizers and left wing of the bomber.
