Day 6 of #30DayMapChallenge. Raster - On day 2 we showed the flight lines of the Tellus Airborne Survey. This raster grid shows the total magnetic intensity anomaly map produced by the geophysical survey. Read more: nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/5091… Explore data: admin.opendatani.gov.uk/dataset?q=Tell…
