ASTER images from Antarctica taken between 2000 and 2003 in the thermal infrared imaging sensor showed interesting relationship between the land surface temperatures and the surface features. The studied area is the Ross Island, the Ross Ice Shelf at the south and the Antarctic Ocean at the north. T...
