The Most Detailed 3D Map Of Earth Yet

Click the JPL link in the source. Found a 4320x2160 pixel image.

@Maximillian: more like "planned outrage" amirite?!

@revblindgary: There is recent evidence to support that although "overall" during the past 10-15 years we're still warmer. Last year, however, the NW passage didn't open up like some alarmists were predicting. Also, something the mainstream media won't inform you about is that Antarctica is at record high ice levels at the moment. There have also been some glaciers making recoveries but, again, you will most likely only hear about the ones receding. Just remember that the "consensus" that you hear about everywhere is not really a "consensus" and that all the smart people are still trying to figure out the mechanisms behind climate change. Sea levels may raise. Sea levels may fall. El Nino is messing with their current models. CO2 is starting to be downplayed by the cognoscenti with other gases taking a bit more or the emphasis (argon, water vapor, etc.) I'm not saying that we might be messing with our ecosystem but TRY and find the other side of the story at least before buying what the mass media/government engine is trying to feed you.

What do you mean?

Forget Google Maps

Would it be possible to put this on Google Earth? That would be pretty cool.
They should make it so that if you have those polarized glasses you can actually see it in 3d.

Does it come in a globe form? I'd love to see Antarctica properly, not all stretched out weird.

@fredcadete: Seamless in that you can download whatever extent you want in one download, rather than taking the sections they designate for you. As a GIS professional, this kind of server is greatly appreciated.... albeit a bit of a misnomer, as you pointed out.

@Bress Tess Iz:

Pretty soon my Norcross, GA residence will be beachside property.
I'm turning my A/C on high today for the future...

@Bress Tess Iz: Ever heard of levees. You really think that the governments of those countries won't just build levee type systems so as to prevent flooding. Especially in Europe i can see this happening.

@fredcadete:
Oh, I see what you saw there.

@High Speed Indeed: Only the first time.

@Bress Tess Iz: Nice, so what you are saying is to buy some land next to the blue areas, and then in 40 years, instant beachfront property! That should get you a good return on your investment... Where is my real estate agent's phone number....

@Bress Tess Iz: Someone was telling me that they had recently proven that the climate is actually cooling. This didnt seem to jive with what I've heard about ice melting and ocean temps rising, but anyone know anything about this?

revblindgary

Being a geography and map nut, I cant wait to download this. I already see some really cool stuff I want to check out in detail.

Looks purdy.

I'll probably forget to get this, though.

@amacieli: It'll be harder to yawn when you're under water.

"and then stitched together into a seamless map"

If they were stitched together, it has to have seams! Got you!

fredcadete

@Bress Tess Iz: yawn

amacieli

i like the way that they made the low-lying areas colored in blue so that we know what the map will look like when the sea levels rise in 40years

@Jesus Diaz: How awesome is it??

Of course there's a "planned outage" right after tons of sites find and link to the map...

@ttech10: Works for me

The linked page says it's down for maintenance.

download link is confising i don't know what to look for. But this is pretty amazing :)
