NASA LandSat Image Mosaic of Antarctica
Project Homepage: http://quest.nasa.gov/challenges/lima/
This website is for students who would like to become scientists and propose Antarctic research: The Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica is the first true-color high-resolution satellite view of the Antarctic continent. Using this view of Antarctica, students are asked to develop a research question surrounding a chosen feature of Antarctica and to debate the value of studying that area. Registration is now open to educators and club or program leaders wishing to have their students participate in the Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA) Quest Challenge.
