Leat, Philip T.; Fretwell, Peter T.; Tate, Alex J.; Larter, Robert D.; Martin, T.J.; Smellie, J.K.; Jokat, W.; Bohrmann, G.. 2014 Bathymetry and Geological Setting of the South Sandwich Islands Volcanic Arc. BAS GEOMAP 2. Cambridge, British Antarctic Survey.

This double-sided map covers the South Sandwich Islands and surrounding area. The South Sandwich Islands are remote sub-Antarctic islands situated in the eastern Scotia Sea and are entirely composed of volcanic rocks. Side one is a bathymetric map of the region around the South Sandwich Islands and includes the East Scotia spreading ridge, the South Sandwich trench and numerous seamounts of the region. The map has been compiled from a variety of data sources, but the primary data source is multibeam swath bathymetry collected from scientific cruises undertaken by the British Antarctic Survey and the Alfred Wegener Institute. Side 2 is a compilation of individual maps of the South sandwich Islands and shows the location of active volcanic vents and fumaroles.
