Amazingly, researchers now know the height of every mountain and all the ice in all of Antarctica within a few feet. “It is the highest-resolution terrain map by far of any continent,” said Howat.

NASA today released a new, updated map of the topography — that is, the surface structure — of Antarctica. The new topographical map of Earth’s southernmost continent is based on an older ...

Covering approximately 98 percent of Antarctica to a latitude of 88 degrees south (there’s a slight hole right at the South Pole due to a lack of satellite coverage), the map has a resolution of ...

Scientists have completed the most detailed map of the land under the frozen ice sheet of Antarctica. This is the third version of this map, and is known as Bedmap3.It has incorporated data from ships ...

Bedmap3 is the most fine-grain map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice. Scientists created it using more than 60 years' worth of data from satellites, ships and dog-drawn sleds.

Earlier maps placed the thickest ice in the Astrolabe Basin In Adelie Land. Here’s why this new map is critical: It will help researchers figure out how Antarctica might respond to warming ...

University of Minnesota researchers have created a map of Antarctica that shows the continent in more detail than its predecessors. On Sept. 4, researchers at the University’s Polar Geospatial Center ...

A new map of the South Orkney Islands has been released by British Antarctic Survey (BAS) – the first UK published, topographic map of the region in almost 40 years. Created by the Mapping and ...

Earth's oceans have topographic features and are held down by gravity, not contained by a giant Antarctic ice wall. Hotspots ranked Start the day smarter ☀️ Funniest cap messages Get the USA ...

Antarctica is in the grip of some of the world's fastest climate change. Its melting ice could contribute up to 5 meters of sea-level rise . Where the ice disappears, it leaves barren ground behind.
