The map accesses 360° panoramas of Victoria and Taylor Valleys and a simulated flight through Taylor Valley. All three scenes were created by using ArcView 3-D Analyst™ to create a three dimensional model from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the Dry Valleys. The appearance of ice, water, and rock was created by draping a false color satellite image over the model.
