Quick Google-maps video tour of about 27 of 80 claimed research stations with map correlation

The following video claims that there are 80 stations. I'll have to look at the Wikipedia entry on stations again as well as other maps. The concept of the video is interesting-- I've posted it in this blog before. Today, however, I have a better understanding of the various stations and travel between them as well as fuel depots, GPS stations, and other aspects of Antarctica so it's interesting to revisit this approach.

Below the video is the first map I chose to correlate what is shown in the video with the standard map of Antarctica's research stations with clear latitude and longitude lines. As the video plays, you can scroll down quick to see where the station is, then scroll back up. Stop the video if you like to really get a lock on where you are, on the map.

There's more to be done in this post because there are stations mentioned in the video that I do NOT see on the up-to-date map below but again-- the concept is very good. Certainly the Google earth view can be used to detect convexity vs. concavity as well-- which should correspond to Antarctica as a rim or island but the video doesn't really make that as clear as I'd like. It appears convex, consistent with an island but the photos are arrayed pieces like a puzzle so manipulation is possible and likely. Anyway, I'll review the following video again and post updates below as I'm able to.
