This animation was released for two separate stories. The first release was of the first 15 seconds (450 frames) as 'Prelude to Antarctica' and is stored in our database as animation 988. The entire animation was released as 'Tour of South Pole' and appears here. The animation was created by laying the Pathfinder data over the globe, RADARSAT data over Antarctica, and the South Pole inset at the South Pole.

This animation starts with a world view using Pathfinder data. Then it zooms down to Antarctica, and dissolve in RADARSAT data over Antarctica.
