U.S. releases unclassified spy images of Arctic ice

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"The United States released more than a thousand intelligence images of Arctic ice to help scientists study the impact 
of climate change,
within hours of a recommendation by the National Academy of Sciences.

In an unusually fast move by a U.S. government agency, the Interior Department made the images public on Wednesday.
The academy's report urging this action was released at 11 a.m. on Wednesday.

Some 700 images show swatches of sea ice from six sites around the Arctic Ocean, with an additional 500 images of 22 
sites in the United States.
The images can be seen online at gfl.usgs.gov/."
