Greenland Basal Topography - Side B

British Antarctic Survey, 2017. Greenland Basal Topography - Side B, 1:3,500,000 scale map. BAS Thematic Map Series, Sheet 2B, Edition 1. Cambridge, British Antarctic Survey.

This is side B of a double-sided map. This geophysical and glaciological map shows the basal topography of Greenland and surrounding seabed. The topography of the subglacial landscape under the Greenland Icesheet was modelled using a mixture of radio echo-sounding and a glaciological model (BEDMACHINE 2) and is presented in a similar colour scheme to the Antarctic BEDMAP2.

The map is a result of a collaboration between British Antarctic Survey and Bristol University, based on data from a joint project between Bristol University and the University of Irvine California.

This side presents a 3D view of the dataset, highlighting some of the important and interesting features and gives further details of how the surface was constructed.
