Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica


Movie   ID   Title
This guided tour of the area surrounding McMurdo Station in Antarctica uses the Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA). It's a great way to experience the frozen continent without any risk of frostbite.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='LIMA_wVO_transcript.htm'>here</a>.   10416   Guided Tour of LIMA Flyover
This image is the high resolution image of Antarctica shown using the Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica data.   3588   Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica Graphic
This image compares the size of the continental United States to the size of Antarctica.   3540   Compare the Size of Antarctica to the Continental United States
This is the Pine Island Glacier which is a broad glacier flowing WNW along the south side of the Hudson Mountains into Pine Island Bay, Amundsen Sea.   3538   Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica Flyover of Pine Island Glacier
This is the same animation without the text overlays. This image shows Sulzberger Bay and the Sulzberger Ice Shelf which was first discovered in 1929 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition.   3537   Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica Flyover of Western Antarctica
Full animation with labels - McMurdo Station is a science research center operated by the United States.  New Zealand's science station, Scott Base, is located just 5 km away from McMurdo Station. Ross Island is surrounded by floating ice called the Ross Ice Shelf and the McMurdo Ice Shelf.   3482   Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica Flyover of McMurdo Station and Dry Valleys
