Antarctica fully mapped

Researchers at UC Irvine, NASA, and JPL have now combined satellite and other remote sensing data of Antarctica to produce the first complete map of the ice bound continent. [caption id="attachment_6714" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="Complete Antarctica map credit: JPL/NASA"][/caption] The new mapping data collected between 2007-2009, didn't determine if Antarctic glaciers are melting in response to climate change. The speed and movement of a continent-wide glacial network was just uncovered by the resarch but more on-site measurements are scheduled. You always need a good map to get where you want to go. WHB
