An extra to APoD members.

This topography map, called Bedmap2, was compiled by the British Antarctic Survey and incorporates millions of new measurements, including substantial data sets from NASA's ICESat satellite and an airborne mission called Operation IceBridge. (NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center)

reminds me of Afghanistan.

Only uninhabited, so a BIG improvement.

Anybody else see two fairly distinct, large impact craters on the lower edge of the photo? Looks like it to me. Formed those mountain ranges if so.
