  BedMachine: A high-precision map of Antarctic ice sheet bed topography

  NASA visualization of BedMachine’s inferred Antarctic bed topography. This is a scientific model using measurements and physical constraints, not a direct photograph beneath the ice.

• Video · British Antarctic Survey

  BEDMAP of Antarctica

  British Antarctic Survey visualizes the landscape beneath Antarctica using BEDMAP survey compilations. The provider does not identify this upload as Bedmap3, so it must not be relabeled as that newer product.

  Guided Tour of LIMA Flyover

  NASA provides a narrated LIMA flyover around McMurdo Station, combining a Landsat satellite-image mosaic with elevation and field data. It is a constructed visualization, not a single photograph.

  Landsat's Antarctica Mosaic

  NASA presents a flyover assembled from the Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica. The mosaic combines satellite images; it is not a single contemporaneous photograph.

  S1 Ep1: Elena Field on mapping Antarctica

  BAS cartographer Elena Field explains how Antarctic maps and geographic datasets are made and maintained, and how the work differs from mapping elsewhere.

  The Bedrock Beneath Antarctica

  NASA’s Bedmap2 visualization removes the ice digitally to reveal modeled bedrock topography. It illustrates an earlier map generation, not the newer Bedmap3 dataset.

• Video · NASA Scientific Visualization Studio

  The Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) 360 version

  NASA’s 360-degree visualization compares terrain-data resolution around the Ross Archipelago using REMA. It is a rendered elevation model, not continuous camera footage.

  Two Scientists Have a Frank and Honest Discussion about Antarctica

  NASA glaciologists Kelly Brunt and Alex Gardner discuss the history, challenges, and development of Antarctic mapping.
