Skiing Alaska's Glaciers For Science - Kit Deslauriers & Andy Bardon

The United States has been mapped, graphed and generally analyzed in every way imaginable. But on deep in Alaska's interior, the exact height of several peaks in the Brooks Range remain a mystery. Glaciologist Matt Nolan hopes to estimate rates of glacier change in the range, so to establish a baselline measurement, ski mountaineers Kit Deslauriers and Andy Bardon carried a GPS sensor to the summit of two peaks in the range. Nolan hasn't revealed the findings just yet, but Deslauriers and Bardon were less secretive about their ski adventure through the "No Fall Zone."
