Amazingly, researchers now know the height of every mountain and all the ice in all of Antarctica within a few feet. “It is the highest-resolution terrain map by far of any continent,” said Howat.

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has released an interactive map of Antarctica. It combines information on coastlines and contours and is available to everyone from tourists to researchers to ...

Bedmap3 is the most fine-grain map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice. Scientists created it using more than 60 years' worth of data from satellites, ships and dog-drawn sleds.

The Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) map has a resolution more than 100 times sharper than previous representations. "At this resolution, you can see almost everything," Ian Howat ...

Bedmap3 is the newest map showing what Antarctica will look like without ice. British Antarctic Survey Scientists used data from planes, satellites, ships, and dog sleds to create the map and then ...

From Bedmap3 updated ice bed, surface and thickness gridded datasets for Antarctica (by Pritchard, H., et al. ) As we better map isolated and icy areas on Earth, these findings also help inform ...

Experts have revealed Antarctica is “more vulnerable” than previously feared, as a new map reveals what lays under the ice. The estimates, created by Bedmap3, have also re-evaluated the ...

Antarctica is in the grip of some of the world's fastest climate change. Its melting ice could contribute up to 5 meters of sea-level rise. Where the ice disappears, it leaves barren ground behind.

Known as Bedmap3, the map incorporates more than six decades of survey data acquired by planes, satellites, ships and even dog-drawn sleds. The outline of deep valleys is better represented in the ...

A new three-dimensional view of Antarctica shows off the southernmost continent in all of its rugged glory. Created by satellite data collected by the European Space Agency’s CryoSat, the map ...
