6 days ago · The Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica is the first-ever true-color high-resolution satellite view of the Antarctic continent, enabling you to see Antarctica as it would really appear if you were hovering above it. LIMA was created from nearly 1100 individual Landsat-7 images of Antarctica, most collected between 1999 and 2003. A single Landsat ...

Sep 4, 2018 · The Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) provides the first, high resolution (2-meter) terrain map of nearly the entire continent. Since each REMA grid point has a timestamp, any past or future point observation of elevation provides a …

In support of the International Polar Year (IPY 2007-2008), LIMA brings the coldest continent on Earth alive in greater detail than ever before through this virtually cloudless, seamless, and high resolution satellite view of Antarctica.

Jul 19, 2012 · The world’s first high-resolution, three-dimensional, true-color map of Antarctica was built from more than 1,100 images from the Landsat 7 satellite. To create the Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA), scientific visualizers combined Landsat 7 scenes (acquired between 1999 and 2001), a digital elevation model, and field data measurements.

Sep 13, 2018 · A team of cartographers and researchers from the University of Minnesota and the Ohio State University has produced a high-resolution terrain map of Antarctica (pdf and tif files). The Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica shows the continent in stunning detail.

Scientists have released the most accurate, high-resolution terrain map of Antarctica ever created. The new map has a resolution of 2 to 8 meters, compared to 1,000 meters, which was typical for previous maps.

Mar 19, 2025 · The high-resolution map reveals what the frozen continent looks like beneath its miles-thick blanket of ice and snow, and will help researchers predict how Antarctica might evolve in a fast ...

Sep 4, 2018 · The map uses high-resolution satellite images to show the continent in stunning detail and will provide new insight on climate change. The map, called the Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA), has a resolution of 8 meters (about 26 feet).
