There isn't a satellite high enough to take it on a single photo so they just stich several photos, just like google maps

Lets join a band of brothers
And para motor a cartographic expedition of the poles and donate it to google
And than finally
Project google maps into azimithal equidistant with qgis

We have multiple polar orbiting satellites. Just because it takes a shitload of Delta V to get there compared to equatorial doesn't mean they don't exist.

“antarctica” doesnt exist. if it did, it would be a tourist attraction worth billions of dollars per year

no it wouldn't. Iceland is the closest thing we have and it's barely over a billion euro a year in tourism. people really don't wanna go to very cold out of the way places where there's nothing to see but birds huddling across rocky plains

the blue marble has a significant chunk of antarctica. does that count?

Would still suspect this to be a composite but cool image nonetheless.

>>16494234
dont think its a composite because the Galileo probe wasn't flying over the same place over and over to build the image up. They did construct some mosiacs, for example of our Moon, using multiple images from a single flyby, but this is done its clearly marked as a composite.

The one of Antarctica here >>16494039 is not described as being a mosaic.

you will see what i mean if you take a look through this image set

It might seem weird that such images aren't that common, considering that polar orbits are commonly used by earth imaging satellites. However such satellites use low orbits and narrow angle optics, as they are used to get high resolution images of the surface. As such they can't fit Antarctica on a single image. There's little point in having a fish eye lens on such a satellite

How about because I want to see it
It pisses me off that there are so many space missions to the moon and shit and all we get it a couple dreadful photos often in black and white fuckkkkk
