<p class="MsoNormal">Article: http://www.npolar.no/en/news/2018/02-06-relansering-av-Quantarctica.html<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello QGIS Community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-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<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-New additions and updates to the pre-existing Geophysics and Glaciology categories<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-The Quantarctica Data Catalog (http://quantarctica.npolar.no/data-catalog), where you can view preview images, metadata, and citation information for every dataset<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-Northward expansion of Quantarctica's project boundary to 40°S, including subantarctic islands<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-Improved and expanded basemap, terrain, and satellite imagery layers<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-Updates, resolution improvements, and stability enhancements to datasets from v1 and v2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-New features in QGIS and significant enhancements to project stability, speed, and usability<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are convinced that Quantarctica could only exist, and be as popular as it is today, because of you.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And as always, if you have any questions, comments, bug reports, or cool maps, send us an email at quantarctica@npolar.no.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On behalf of the Quantarctica Project Team and the thousands of Antarcticans around the world,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Mapping!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">George Roth<o:p></o:p></p>
