Previous versions of Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Antarctic Digital Database (ADD) datasets.

See the main ADD collection for more information.

Medium resolution vector polygons of the Antarctic coastline

Version:
7.9
Released:
2024-05-10T07:53:48+00:00

Coastline for Antarctica created from various mapping and remote sensing sources, provided as polygons with ‘land’, ‘ice shelf’, ‘ice tongue’ or ‘rumple’ attribute. Covering all land and ice shelves south of 60°S. Suitable for topographic mapping and analysis. This dataset has been generalised from the high resolution vector polygons. Medium resolution versions of ADD data are suitable for scales smaller than 1:1,000,000, although certain regions will appear more detailed than others due to variable data availability and coastline characteristics.

Changes in v7.9 include updates to the South Orkney Islands, sections of the Filchner, West, Wilkins and George VI ice shelves, and ice fronts in eastern Dronning Maud Land and west of Law Dome.

Released:
2021-05-11T14:00:00

Coastline for Antarctica created from various mapping and remote sensing sources, provided as polygons with ‘land’, ‘ice shelf’, ‘ice tongue’ or ‘rumple’ attribute. This dataset has been generalised from the high resolution vector polygons. Covering all land and ice shelves south of 60°S. Suitable for topographic mapping and analysis.
