This data set, as part of the Global Land Ice Velocity Extraction from Landsat (GoLIVE) project, provides a compilation of Antarctic ice flow velocity mappings generated from pairs of Landsat 8 panchromatic images between 1 July 2013 to 30 April 2017. The data are provided at a gridded spatial resolution of 750 m. There are six compiled time-periods within the stated range in the data set, with each compilation containing visualization and data quality files.
