Antarctic Cryosphere Access Portal (A-CAP)

The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) Antarctic Cryosphere Access Portal (A-CAP) is a map server that provides data and information pertinent to the frozen regions of the Antarctic ice sheet and the Southern Ocean, including monthly climatologies of sea ice extent and concentration, ice sheet elevation and accumulation, satellite imagery, and more. In addition to providing map images and source data through Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) protocols--Web Map Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS), and Web Coverage Service (WCS)--a dynamic Web interface for exploring these data is also available at http://nsidc.org/agdc/acap/.
