Dear list,

i tried several options to reproject coordinates from utm to polar
stereographic but without success. It seems that I use some wrong
parameters.
Could you tell me what would be the best command to project it correctly?

These are the information from gdalinfo for the sourcefile:

This is one of my commands:

gdalwarp -s_srs "+proj=utm  +zone=10 +datum=WGS84" -t_srs "+proj=stere
+lat_ts=70.0 +lat_0=90.0 +lon_0=45.0 +k_0=1.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0.0" utm.tif
pol_ster.tif


Thank you very much for your comments and remarks.
