An animation of changing snow cover across the Earth over the period of a year. Snow cover is much more abundant in the Northern Hemisphere, which is not surprising considering that the large majority of land in the colder latitudes is in the Northern Hemisphere. Antarctica is perennially covered by snow or ice cap, except for a few places in the Antarctic Peninsula and the McMurdo Dry Valleys.
