Hi,

Hello,


Can somebody give me some assistance creating a map of Antarctica using
OpenLayers please?

If your WMS server is well configured, the following should work:

var your_layer= new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(
        "layer_name",
        "http://your.wms.server/";, {
                'layers' : 'layer_name',
                'transparent' : true,
                'isBaseLayer' : false
         });
your_map.addLayer(your_layer);

You should probably use EPSG:3031 as projection

FYI I use something like this on the server side (MapServer):

    LAYER
        NAME "antarctic"
        TYPE RASTER
        STATUS ON
        DATA antarctica_sthn_ocean.tiff
        PROJECTION
            "init=epsg:3031"
        END
        METADATA
            "wms_title" "ant"
        END
    END

I have this map http://dashavoo.com/map.png that was created with
BaseMap in Python (Orthographic projection iirc) which covers the
approximate area I want.

I have tried modifying other code I found online, but have been
unsuccessful so far.

Incase it wasn't immediately apparent, I am new to OpenLayers.

Mo.
