ETAH PLATEAU - ANTARCTICA.
-----------------------------------------

5.12km x 5.12km Terrain
5m Ground Resolution

This synthetic terrain represents a small area of Western Antarctica. 

Geologically, West Antarctica closely resembles the Andes mountain range of South America. 
The most common rocks in West Antarctica are volcanics formed during the Jurassic period. There is also evidence of volcanic activity, even after the ice sheet had formed.

From a landscape erosion perspective, this area of Antarctica is fairly inactive, the major factors being cliff-face shearing due to the extreme low temperatures, plus of course glacial movement of the ice-sheet... Everywhere else, it's a thick blanket of permanent snow.

This simulated terrain attempts to capture all of these aspects within a small area... cliff-shearing terraces, ancient volcanics (there's a big crater), and thick wind-drifted snow everywhere else...

One interesting aspect of this terrain which I can take no credit for is the beautifully implemented geographic Latitude & Longitude variation built into the Arma 2 engine... with authentic Western Antarctica lat/long coordinates implemented on the terrain, for several months of the year the sun never fully sets, and at the other end of the year it never fully rises - occasionally with wierdly beautiful skies... Good 'ol BIS once again!
