Aerial Photography of Antarctica
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The USARC maintains all US Aerial Antarctic Mapping photography and USGS flight indexes of the Antarctic.
Description
There are over 500,000 photographs in the collection. Most photographs are 9" x 9" black and white images taken with three Fairchild cameras each with a metrogon lense resulting in trimetrogon photography (left oblique, vertical and right oblique photographs).
Special-purpose photographs showing sites of specific scientific interest "vertical and handheld oblique as well as photographs taken from helicopters" are also on file. Some color photographs are also available. Line indexes to identify coverage are available for most aerial photographic missions.

Contact prints in either matte or glossy finish are available for inspection or stereoscopic viewing. Special feature options, such as ice and rock enhancements, may be special ordered.
