Antarctic Mapping Project

The Antarctic Mapping Project is an initiative to create detailed, accurate maps of Antarctica using advanced satellite imagery, aerial surveys, and geographic information systems (GIS). These maps help scientists study the continent's landscape, climate, and ice coverage, which are crucial for understanding global climate change and sea-level rise. By providing precise data on features like glaciers, ice sheets, and mountain ranges, the project supports research and environmental monitoring. Overall, it enhances our knowledge of Antarctica’s environment, aiding both scientific discovery and policy decisions regarding this affected region.
