RAMP_DEM is a 16-bit 200m binary file of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
used in both the AMM-1 (Antarctic Mapping Mission-1) and MAMM (Modified
Antarctic Mapping Mission).
Along with the binary are two metadata files containing the map coordinates,
projection information, and cols/row.
The DEM is viewable in ERDAS IMAGINE as ENVI *.hdr format.
For detailed information regarding the creation of the DEM please reference:
