NASA/JPL-Caltech. “WorldSRTM-ArcticGlobe.jpg” Online Image. Shuttle Radar Topography Mission. 16 May 2005 30kb. 679×491px. <http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpegMod/PIA02970_modest.jpg> North Pole/Arctic Ocean GlobeThis image shows an SRTM data set for the Arctic region. No credit. Use the requested "Courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech." See JPL Image Policy. Original photo unmodified; Picasa2 made very little difference. Original can also be viewed at the NASA link above. The Arctic Ocean is completely covered by ice. Unlike Antarctica at the South Pole, the North Pole masks no land area at all; instead the northern ice cap covers a massive, deep ocean. This globe is also the perfect way to get a feeling for the two relative sizes of Greenland and North America which are so skewed by the Mercator projections we have available elsewhere. |
