We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Lake Ice Data Access and Tools
Lake ice data from NASA range from synthetic aperture radar datasets to infrared imaging. Our datasets and tools help users find and integrate the data they need to measure when lake ice form and melts, its connection to human activities, and what it may highlight about climate change.
