Tectonic map of the Scotia Arc, 1:3 000 000, BAS (Misc) 3. Cambridge, British Antarctic Survey, 1985.
Abstract:
This full-colour, 1:3 000 000 scale map illustrates the tectonic history of the Scotia Arc, between southern
South America, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula. It summarises the land geology of the Scotia Arc,
its marine geology and its geophysics; layer tinting dramatically displays the bathymetry of the Scotia Sea.
Map projection: Oblique aspect Azimuthal Equidistant. Latitude and longitude of origin: 62°00'S, 52°30'W.
Scale factor at origin: 0.999342.
Data sources and references can be found on the map.
Purpose:
A full-colour 1:3 000 000 scale map illustrating the tectonic history of the Scotia Arc, between southern
South America, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula.
