Image of Antarctica from a single day's data

Figure 1 Image of Antarctica constructed from a single day of scatterometer data (October 2, 2000). The brighter central area in the image is Antarctica. It is bright due to high radar return echoes from glacial snow and ice covering the continent. The darker outer area in the center of the image is the sea-ice pack surrounding Antarctica.
