NSIDC houses over 15,000 photographic prints of glaciers, taken both from the air and from the ground. These photographs constitute an important historical record, as well as a data collection of interest to those studying the response of glaciers to climate change. More than 3,000 glacier photos are online, and most of these glaciers are in the Rocky Mountains, the Pacific Northwest, and Alaska. In March 2006, a special collection, Long-Term Change Photograph Pairs, was added.
