See much larger versions here, and an explanation of how these images are derived.

| Beautiful, but I thought there was no ice left from global warming. |

Perhaps you should do some research into the difference between "less" and "none." :-(
Note that it does appear possible to water-ski at the North Pole. |

I there was no ice left due to climate change, I do believe a lot of the coastlines would be significantly altered.

Exceptional gif, Bear. thanks for posting it.
To me it resembles a heartbeat more than breathing but it certainly brings the earth to life. |

| Thanks for the amazing breathing earth images. It's land only, as showing the frozen polar cap would make it difficult to see the outlines of the land. |

I knew I would get someone going. Pulling your chain. It's been a very cold summer up north this year. Major,gains in ice. A lot of cold air up there. Get ready for a cold winter.
For some reason sea ice does not show up on the gif, even during winter. Maybe it's infrared imaging? |

Screen capture from the "slide show" at NASA's Earth Observatory site ... this is the most recent data -- the sequence starts with the 1999-2000 minimum/maximum observations ... I think the red lines denote average extent; the solid white circle areas not included in the data (I guess you still need snow skis at the pole) ... |
