In this study, we update NASA Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) altimetry elevation changes across Penny Ice Cap (Baffin Island, Canada) to assess total changes in ice mass from 2005-2014, relative to 1995-2000. We use the ATM L1B elevation dataset from which we extract the elevation every 10 m alon...
