Locate Online GIS Resources for Antarctica

All data available through the View LIMA, Download LIMA and Landsat Scenes, and Interactive Atlas of Antarctic Research pages are ready for direct access using ESRI ArcGIS and OpenGIS Consortium Web Mapping Specification (WMS). These can be added to any GIS client supporting those protocols using the information below:

• This map service contains the large majority of the Antarctic data hosted at USGS EROS. All the original layers from the Atlas of Antarctic Research are part of this service.

ArcGIS Server:
• nimbus.cr.usgs.gov
ArcGIS Service Name:
• USGS_EROS_Antarctica_Reference
WMS Capabilities:
• https://nimbus.cr.usgs.gov/arcgis/services/Antarctica/USGS_EROS_Antarctica_Reference
  /MapServer/WmsServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS

• The actual LIMA data is hosted on a separate server, so this map service provides access to just the LIMA and some of the index layers for the LIMA products data viewable on this site.
