    Antarctic Region

    Date: 14 Nov 2007
    Satellite: Rosetta
    Depicts: Earth's Antarctic region
    Copyright: ESA

    Composite of three images taken by one of Rosetta's two navigation cameras between 20:54 and 20:56 UTC on 13 November, showing the Antarctic region with the northern tip of the Graham Land peninsula in the left half of the composite. See related images for annotated close-up of Graham Land.

    The images were obtained during the second Earth swing-by from heights of between 5300 and 5415 km. The Sun is to the left in this view. Rosetta's travel direction is also to the left, with the three images taken at ~1 minute intervals from right to left. The composite image is centred at 64.87°S, 53.04°W.
