Visualizers stitched together Landsat 7 satellite imagery acquired in 1999 and 2001 with a digital elevation model and field data measurements.
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.
This is a narrated version of entry #3482: Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica Flyover of McMurdo Station and Dry Valleys.
