SYDNEY, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- Australian researchers have created a new detailed map of Antarctica's ice-free land that they say will help protect the continent's biodiversity.

The release of the map is meant to coincide with the International Polar Year 2007-2008, during which over 60,000 scientists from around the world will conduct research on the Arctic and Antarctica.

Scientists have produced the most detailed map yet of Antarctica. US and UK researchers have stitched together more than 1,000 views of the White Continent to make a stunning new high-definition polar ...
