Quantarctica, an integrated mapping environment for Antarctica, the Southern Ocean, and sub-Antarctic islands
Quantarctica (https://www.npolar.no/quantarctica) is a geospatial data package, analysis environment, and visualization platform for the Antarctic Continent, Southern Ocean (>40oS), and sub-Antarctic islands. Quantarctica works with the free, cross-platform Geographical Information System (GIS) s...
