From Space to Screen
How satellites, computers AND people find icebergs
Most of the iceberg sightings published on this website have originated from space! The technology that can do this is satellite-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The SAR systems that are used for iceberg detection here are located at an altitude of ~800 kilometers and orbit the earth 14 times each day. Read more on the Technology page.
