ESA's ice mission is now giving scientists a closer look at oceans, coastal areas, inland water bodies and even land, reaching above and beyond its original objectives.
Launched in 2010, the polar-orbiting CryoSat was developed to measure the changes in the thickness of polar sea ice, the elevation of the ice sheets that blanket Greenland and Antarctica, and mountain glaciers.
The satellite's radar altimeter not only detects tiny variations in the height of the ice, it also measures sea level and the sea ice's height above water to derive sea-ice thickness with an unprecedented accuracy.
