EarthExplorer offers two digital download options for the Antarctic Single Frame Records photography. The files are stored in a TIFF format. Medium Resolution Digital Aerial Products are non-photogrammetric quality and created with a digital camera at 63 micron (400 dpi). The file size for nine inch scenes is approximately 15 MB (megabytes) for black-and-white and 45 MB for color images. High Resolution Digital Aerial Products are of photogrammetric quality and were created with a digital scanning back at 25 micron (1000 dpi). The file size for nine inch scenes is approximately 110 MB for black-and-white images and 330 MB for color images. USGS EROS scanning of the Antarctic film collection involved updates to EarthExplorer that activated no cost high resolution downloads and turned off custom scanning request capabilities.",
