More High Resolution Magic

This time it is a high resolution satellite map of Antarctica, fully zoomable and with a resolution of about 1 pixel to 90 meters. It can be browsed online or the images can be downloaded.

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.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), created LIMA from more than 1,000 Landsat ETM+ scenes.

The website appears to be running a bit slow, probably because of load.
