The National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado have put together a collection of their data. This KML compares glaciers over the last 100 years, and includes an interesting time animation of the sea-ice extent in the Arctic circle as well as a fascinating animation of the actual break up of the Larsen B ice shelf in Antarctica.
