PROBA-V images Antarctica
Dear PROBA-V user,
At the end of 2017 we were happy to inform you that due to large interest we decided to acquire PROBA-V data over Antarctica from November 2017 up to February 2018.
We are now pleased to inform you that the campaign is finished.
The 1 km, 300 m and 100 m products of Antarctica are online available via the distribution platform in the respective product collections.
Furthermore, all products are mounted on the PROBA-V Mission Exploitation Platform Virtual Machines, providing immediate access to the data with a powerful set of tools and libraries next to processing capacity. Products are processed up to L2A and provided in a polar stereographic projection for your convenience.
The image above shows an example of a seamless mosaic of all orbits needed, projected and cropped to the land borders. The pop-up image on the left shows all the orbits needed to image the total land mass of Antarctica in 1 km or 300 m resolution.

Antarctica data available
Calving process: For the second consecutive southern hemisphere summer season, PROBA-V observed Antarctica and its ongoing changes. Observations on the continent’s land and sea ice surfaces were performed from 12 November 2018 – 18 February 2019. At various places, large ice sheets are calving off the major glaciers and these processes were well observed by PROBA-V.
