Abstract:
Hillshade covering South Georgia at 10m resolution, derived from Reference Elevation Mosaic of Antarctica
(REMA) v2.0 10m mosaic dataset. It is a traditional hillshade with a Z factor of 1. The hillshade extent
matches the current coastline available via the South Georgia GIS.
Projection: WGS84 South Georgia Lambert, EPSG: 3762
Purpose:
Hillshade of South Georgia, derived using REMA v2.0 10m mosaic dataset and published in South Georgia Lambert
projection (EPSG: 3762).

Statement:
Using ArcGIS Pro v3.2, a traditional hillshade with a Z factor of 1 was constructed using the the REMA
v2.0 10m tile that covers South Georgia. The output was then clipped by the coastline obtained through
the South Georgia GIS (https://www.sggis.gov.gs/home/sggis). There were two small areas of no data in
the input DEM that were not classified as such. Therefore these areas were set as null in the output
hillshade.
Data sources:
