Produced by the Mapping and Geographic Information Centre, British Antarctic Survey, 2025, version 1,
[https://data.bas.ac.uk/maps/1011](https://data.bas.ac.uk/maps/1011).
Abstract:
A map of Signy Island, South Orkney Islands. Rock outcrop, moraine and lakes are shown on land, displayed over
a subtle hillshade to represent terrain. Contours are shown at 20 m intervals, and spot heights for some of
the highest peaks are also displayed. Selected place names are also included.
Map projection: WGS84 UTM Zone 23S, Central Meridian 45°40'W. Vertical datum: Mean Sea Level (MSL) at Signy
Research Station. MSL as defined by the tide gauge at the station. To transform data from WGS84 to Signy
MSL, apply a local correction factor of -32.235 m (MSL is below WGS84).
Data sources and references can be found in the lineage.
Purpose:
A map of Signy Island with a hillshade, contours and land cover.
