Abstract

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.
