Landsat-7 / ETM+ / Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica(a.k.a. LIMA)

Type: Mosaic
Maintained by: NASA/GSFC, British Antarctic Survey, USGS EROS Data Center

Mosaicing to avoid clouds produced a high quality, nearly cloud-free benchmark data set of Antarctica for the International Polar Year from images collected primarily during 1999-2003.

This image shows the 3 regions in North Africa: The Sahara, the Sahel, and the Sudan. The Sahel, a word derived from the Arabic ’sahil’ meaning shore, is a semi-arid belt of barren, sandy and rock-strewn land which stretches 3,860km across the breadth of the African continent and marks the physical and cultural divide between the continent’s more fertile south (the Sudan Region) and Saharan desert north.   3539   Blue Marble Next Generation Images from Terra/MODIS

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='/vis/a010000/a010400/a010416/LIMA_wVO_transcript.htm'>here</a>.   10416   Guided Tour of LIMA Flyover
Designed exclusively for playback on spherical projections surfaces, FROZEN introduces mainstream audiences to the cryosphere--places on Earth where the temperatures don't rise above water's freezing point. The following trailer showcases some of the visual themes contained in the movie and points to the film's main website.<p><p>This film has been prepared exclusively for playback on spherical projections systems.
