If using for a graphic or if short on space, please cite as 'Data from the SCAR Antarctic Digital Database, 2024'.
Coastline for Antarctica created from various mapping and remote sensing sources, provided as polygons with 'land', 'ice shelf', 'ice tongue' or 'rumple' attribute. Covering all land and ice shelves south of 60°S. Suitable for topographic mapping and analysis. High resolution versions of ADD data are suitable for scales larger than 1:1,000,000. The largest suitable scale is changeable and dependent on the region.
Changes in v7.10 include updates to the coastline of Alexander Island and surrounding islands, and the ice shelf fronts of the Wilkins and Brunt ice shelves.
Data compiled, managed and distributed by the Mapping and Geographic Information Centre and the UK Polar Data Centre, British Antarctic Survey on behalf of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research.
Antarctic coastline south of 60°S, consisting of land, ice shelf, ice tongue and rumple features as polygons.

Dataset compiled from a variety of Antarctic map and satellite image sources. 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-2024 - individual lines contain exact source dates.
