This is a continent that is 15 million square kilometers, so 50 percent larger than the lower 48." The resolution captured by satellites is 8 meters in size, so small enough to show buildings and ...

To study the rapidly changing ecosystems of Antarctica, researchers have recently created the first continent-wide map of its plant life. You might expect the color palette of Antarctica to be ...
