Scientists have released the most accurate, high-resolution terrain map of Antarctica ever created. The new map has a resolution of 2 to 8 meters, compared to 1,000 meters, which was typical for previous maps. "It is the highest-resolution terrain map by far of any continent," said Ian Howat, professor of earth sciences at The Ohio State University.
