Great Zoom into Don Juan Pond, Antarctica (treatment #1)
|
|
Antarctica is the coldest and most remote continent on Earth. It is also home to one of the most Mars-like places that scientists can study without actually traveling to the fourth planet. In this sequence we plunge from space down to a remarkably detailed view of a unique part of the Dry Valleys. By studying this place researchers think they might gain insight into how life on Mars might either survive now or have developed in the past. It is called the Don Juan Pond, and its one of the saltiest, coldest bodies of water on Earth. The zoom passes through 4 different resolution data sets including data from Terra, Lnadsat, and IKONOS.
