This is our biggest pretty image as of 8/29/2000. It is
14535 by 11946 30-meter pixels, considerably more detailed than the gif
file that you see. The data is stored in the UTM zone 10 projection, so
integrating information east of 120° would be difficult.
A Tif file of this image is 12 inches high and is
recorded at 200 dpi. It unzips from 8345169 bytes to 14092572 bytes.
The saturation seems to have dropped in the creation of the tiff file.

Thorson's original figure from Quaternary Research Volume 13, Number 3, May 1980.
(Note, Thorson maps were digitized from a bound journal article. We now have access to his
original mylars, and are thinking of scanning them.)
