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 map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed. What's under all that ice in Antarctica? New map has answers.

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.

Antarctica breakthrough as map shows huge undiscovered mountains under ice ... The outline of deep valleys is better represented, as are those places where rocky mountains stick up through the ice.

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.

As the name of the map implies, this is the third effort to illustrate Antarctica’s rock bed. The project began in 2001, but the researchers involved say the new map represents a dramatic ...

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, ...

A new map puts Antarctica into 3D perspective with an aerial view of the continent's ice, created from 250 million satellite measurements.

The outline of the supposed Antarctic depiction more closely resembles the physical land of the Antarctic continent than it does the ice pack, which stretches out into the ocean beyond the land. So, ...
