GlobCover 2009 and 2006 (10", about 300 m)
http://due.esrin.esa.int/page_globcover.php is a 372 MB download, which includes a compressed TIF file.
In an uncompressed format, the file is 7 GB in size, and is
probably painfully slow to display. Users should
open in QGIS, and immediately subset the file to cover just the region needed.
Keep "GLOBCOVER" in the file name so it will be recognized.
