>Hello QGIS Community,
>
>The Norwegian Polar Institute is proud to announce the release of
>Quantarctica 3, the latest version of its free, cross-platform
>Antarctic mapping environment that combines QGIS and high-quality
>Antarctic scientific data.
>
>Quantarctica 3 is the result of a two-year dedicated development
>effort. Thanks to the work of the Quantarctica Project Team, Editorial
>Board, and feedback from hundreds of Antarctic researchers around the
>world, this version is Quantarctica's biggest release yet, adding:
>
>-Eight new themes with over 50 new datasets in over 100 new layers:
>Atmospheric Science, Biology, Environmental Management, Geology, Ice
>Cores, Oceanography, Sea Ice, and Social Science
>-New additions and updates to the pre-existing Geophysics and
>Glaciology categories
>-The Quantarctica Data Catalog
>(http://quantarctica.npolar.no/data-catalog), where you can view
>preview images, metadata, and citation information for every dataset
>-Northward expansion of Quantarctica's project boundary to 40°S,
>including subantarctic islands
>-Improved and expanded basemap, terrain, and satellite imagery layers
>-Updates, resolution improvements, and stability enhancements to
>datasets from v1 and v2
>-New features in QGIS and significant enhancements to project
>stability, speed, and usability
>
>The QGIS and OSGeo communities have done a tremendous amount of work
>over the years that both directly and indirectly benefited Quantarctica
>- and by extension, hundreds of researchers on Earth's most remote,
>poorly mapped, and just plain weirdest continent. It's not only the
>active developments to QGIS that have helped us - every time you
>submitted a bug report, answered a question on StackExchange, or posted
>a tweet showing off a new feature, it's let us know that we're not
>alone, and there's a vibrant community out there that's building an
>open-source future for the world.
>
>We are convinced that Quantarctica could only exist, and be as popular
>as it is today, because of you.
>
>Visit http://quantarctica.npolar.no/ to download the latest version.
>And please consider sharing the news and your own Quantarctica-made
>creations on social media- #quantarctica, #qgis/@qgis , and @norskpolar
>are good things to tag!
>
>And as always, if you have any questions, comments, bug reports, or
>cool maps, send us an email at quantarctica at npolar.no.
>
>On behalf of the Quantarctica Project Team and the thousands of
>Antarcticans around the world,
>
>Happy Mapping!
