This article "NASA Airborne Mission Maps Remote, Deteriorating Glaciers" tells about a big crater discovered by  Ice bridge Satellite. This crater is situated in pine Islands. NASA satellite Icebridge has been sending lasers there to look at it and discover more about it. These observations have began it 2006. But the satellite stopped working in 2009. In conclusion this article talks about a crater in Pine Islands.

I think this crater is not a big problem to us. Unless this could cause Antarctica to crack. The Polar parts of our world would have some serious problems. But for our luck there are still other satellites looking and observing this mater. And two planes that are observing this crater.

    Where are Pine Islands? Satellite observations could bring lots of important information for scientists.

    I agree. More details please so we can understand the article better. Where are the Pine Islands? Where are the glaciers deteriorating? Did they fix the satellite? What data did they collect while it was working?
