ICESat First Light Release: A Closer View of the Coast
|
Elevation data from ICESat's GLAS instrument is quite detailed, as can be seen in this close-up view of a profile that passes near the Banzare Coast in Antarctica. (The green elevation profile in this animation is exaggerated vertically by a factor of 10x for aesthetic purposes.)
