On October 1st, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) will issue a report summarizing the 2007 Arctic sea ice season, and NASA will issue a press release on a new sea ice study by NASA/JPL researchers. NASA has created new images in support of these and other reports about the remarkable decrease in sea ice this summer. Still images and video are available now for download in high-definition broadcast quality.
