Ice sheets are important because they are at sea level, where climate change shows up. Melting ice sheets can be an early warning sign of global warming. We need to know what's happening to the ice because it is a major component of the Earth's climate system; it affects the climate and is effected by it.
Why is Arctic sea ice important? Arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate. Sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. As sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface.
