www.spri.cam.ac.uk/.../projects/glaciergeometry/This is a map of a glacier in the Antarctic region that was constructed using a mapping technique that produces a map called the digital elevation model. These maps are interesting because they show the elevation of different surfaces and are great at capturing large surface changes in topography, such as mountains and craters, but also smaller changes as well. Researches used photos of this same glacier throughout a few years to track the changes in its elevation and how much this particular glacier, and probably many in general, are changing the sea levels.
