Scientists blog from Antarctica and provide a glimpse of what it's like to do research in the field. 
What's hot in the news around climate and sea ice and what are scientists talking about now? 
This data set includes two image maps - a snow grain size map and a surface morphology map - provided at two different resolutions of 125 m and 750 m. The maps were produced from composited image swath data acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) over Antarctica for the 2003-2004 austral summer season.
