NASA scientists discuss the role of the agency in the International Polar Year. NASA will study the polar regions of Earth using its system of Earth-observing satellites and explore the poles of Mars and the moon.

During IPY, NASA will study the polar regions of Earth as well as explore the poles of Mars and the moon. NASA's Robert Bindschadler, Waleed Abdalati, and James Garvin explain the importance of IPY as an impetus to focus science and education on learning about the polar regions and how they relate to climate change on Earth.
