ESR has developed a set of KML files to be used with the Google Earth App. By installing Google Earth, and downloading our set of *.kml files, you can access the AntTG interactively. The package contains 3 KML files: the tide gauge data, and grounding line and ice-shelf front boundaries developed from the Antarctic land/ice/ocean mask file by Geir Moholdt (Norwegian Polar Institute); see Depoorter et al. (2013). Icons used by the tide gauge data file are also included.
