The dataset was created using ArcGIS and QGIS GIS software programmes and has been checked for basic topography and geometry checks, but does not contain strict topology. Quality varies across the dataset and certain areas where high resolution source data were available are suitable for large scale maps whereas other areas are only suitable for smaller scales. Each polygon contains a 'surface' attribute with either 'land', 'ice shelf', 'ice tongue' or 'rumple'. Details of when and how each line was created can be found in the attributes of the high resolution polyline coastline dataset. Data sources range in time from 1990s-2020 - individual lines contain exact source dates.
