A feature formerly mapped as a peninsula is now an island, something revealed after the nearby glacier retreated. The same issue provides a summary of a report from the National Academy of Sciences on the need for additional Earth sensing satellites. Science Times is available at: _http://www.nytimes.com/pages/science/index.html_. The National Academy of Sciences Report is titled "Earth Science and Applications from Space: National Imperatives for the Next Decade and Beyond." It is available online at: _http://www.nap.edu/catalog/11820.html_.
