and the option to show pixel rulers along the bottom and right edges of the page

| January 2009 | Minor tweak to code, to circumvent page-load errors which occasionally occur due to
malfunctioning webcam-host websites, especially the USAP website |
| February 2009 | Minor tweak to code, for same reason
Expanded the page name to Antarctica and Antarctic WebCams to improve searchability
|
| November 2009 | Expanded to 34 camera views |
| December 2009 | Expanded to 38 camera views |
| January 2010 | Reduced to 35 camera views, removing three long-defunct webcams with broken images
(a few other displayed webcams have not updated for months or years, but still provide an image file)
Updated the site navigation bars to include the various other Mountain WebCams pages
Improved options to circumvent page-load errors caused by the malfunctions of the USAP website;
if this webpage fails to load, simply add "&usap=off" to the end of the URL and see if the page then loads
|
| March 2010 | Rearranged some camera views into more logical geographic order |
