This
5-minute
animation
portrays
fluctuations
in
the
cryosphere
through
observations
collected
from
a
variety
of

sensors.
The
cryosphere
consists
of
those
parts
of
the
Earth's
surface
where
water
is
found
in
solid
form,
including
areas
of
snow,
sea
ice,
glaciers,
permafrost,
ice
sheets,
and
icebergs.
In
these
regions,
surface
temperatures
remain
