Hello Jose- I searched the Python installation on my computer, but have not been able to find the bluemarble image.
I also followed the link that you provided, but didn't find any images that cover the entire surface of the Earth. Python Developers- I'd really like to have an option in Basemap.bluemarble() to select from a set of images, rather than just having a single hardwired image.
