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.

High resolution (Scale0) line dataset of the Antarctic Coastline. A compilation of source data from eleven national mapping agencies at data scales no larger than 1:200,000/1:250:000. Line dataset was originally published in tiled Coverage format. Data has since been converted and merged to a single dataset and exported to shapefile and geopackage formats. Scale0 is the highest resolution that was produced.
Revisions for version 5.0 were carried out and managed by the British Antarctic Survey and funded by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Researchline.
Due to the very wide and legacy sources of the data for this compilation, the dataset attributes are inconsistent in format and incomplete. The data are published as they stood at the time of their first publication in 2010. The most recent version of the Antarctic Digital Database is available at: https://data.bas.ac.uk/collections/e74543c0-4c4e-4b41-aa33-5bb2f67df389/

Changes in ADD Version 3.0 included ammendments to ice shelf positions, including many other minor corrections. These are available to view in detail in the ADD Manual (https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/20362/).
Funding was recieved from Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research (SCAR) in 1999 which enabled British Antarctic Survey (BAS) to compile, manage and distribute the ADD.

The second edition of the Antarctic Digital Database (ADD) coastline polyline dataset. A compilation of source data from eleven national mapping agencies at data scales no larger than 1:200,000/1:250:000. Line dataset was originally published on CD-ROM in 1998, in tiled Coverage format. Data has since been converted and merged to a single dataset and exported to shapefile and geopackage formats. Scale0 is the highest resolution that was produced.
ADD Version 2.0 contained many amendments to the original data. Most corrections were made in Quadrant 4, which covers the Antarctic Peninsula, parts of Ellsworth Land and Coats Land. A few features such as Doake Ice Rumples, were inadvertently omitted from ADD Version 1.0, so were included in this version for the first time. Data for the Ronne and Filchner ice shelves were also upgraded. A new map of James Ross Island was incorporated, and the positions of ice fronts of the northern Larsen Ice Shelf, Wordie Ice Shelf and Wilkins Ice Shelf were also amended using the latest available information. Other minor changes were also made and documented in the ADD Manual (https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/536533/)
The UK Consortium behind the ADD Version 1.0, passed the ongoing maintenance and revision of the ADD to British Antarctic Survey (BAS) for Version 2.0.

A compilation of source data from eleven national mapping agencies at data scales no larger than 1:200,000/1:250:000. Line dataset was originally published on CD-ROM in 1993, in tiled Coverage format. Data has since been converted and merged to a single dataset and exported to shapefile and geopackage. Scale0 is the highest resolution that was produced.The ADD project was first proposed in 1990 by a Cambridge (UK) based consortium comprising British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) and the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (now UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC)). International participation in the project was agreed through the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and its Working Group on Geodesy and Geographic Information.
The majority of data capture and data management was undertaken in Cambridge, UK. Work was initially funded by BAS and by The British Petroleum Company p.l.c (BP). Other contributing nations sponsored their own data capture through either their national mapping agencies or their Antarctic research organisations.
BP had no commercial interest in the project and the information gained from this database was in the public domain. BAS, SPRI, WCMC and SCAR, by entering into this project with BP, in no way implied their acceptance or endorsement of any exploration activity for oil, gas or minerals in Antarctica.
