      Hi Daimena!
      We get tons of pictures from NASA. The astronauts take hundreds of pictures every day and they save them on their computers. And then there is some colleague at NASA that downloads all of them every day and sends them to us!

      I don’t use them for my research but there are lot’s of satellite pictures of Antarctica which are used by other scientists for lot’s of other purposes. For example monitoring climate change.

      Here is a link to some of the satellite images of Antarctica that NASA have made:
