Watch: NASA's Beautiful New Arctic Video

On August, 16, 2013, NASA released this new video of footage taken by one of its research planes.

NASA's Operation IceBridge, which collects data from the Arctic and Antarctic, just posted a video compilation of its recent North Pole campaign. If you're in the mood for some gorgeous, chilly vistas, this video is just the thing.

In addition to collecting stunning footage, the airborne mission (carried by a P-3B turboprop plane) collects radar, laser altitude, and other data on the ever-evolving ice sheets, glaciers, and sea ice of the Arctic and Antarctic.

The NASA team put together some jaw-dropping scenery -- taken from the plane's forward and rear cameras -- during IceBridge's spring voyages over Greenland and the Arctic Ocean.
