Antarctica Satellite Map [Laminated]

Dimensions: H51cm x W79cm A wall map with a satellite image of Antarctica, with hill-shading to present the terrain and many peaks, glaciers and research stations. In 1997, in a joint project conducted by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and NASA, the satellite Radarsat I imaged the Antarctic in its entirety. The resulting data enabled researchers to fill in the gaps on existing maps. Annotated to briefly present topics such as ice sheet thickness, winds and ice flow velocity. Latitude and longitude lines are overprinted on the map. Projection: Azimuthal Equidistant.
