* Operations data: BAS Operations, 2025. COMNAP Antarctic Facilities List, 2024.
* Spot Heights: extracted from REMA v2 2m DEM and generated programatically.
* Contours and Hillshade: derived from Polar Geospatial Center REMA v2 100m mosaic. Where there were holes
in this dataset, these have been filled with Copernicus GLO-90 Digital Elevation Model, downsampled to
100m. This dataset was smoothed for the purposes of this map.
* Bird colony information: MAPPPD and limited local information- absence of a bird colony symbol does not
indicate absence of birds. https://www.penguinmap.com/mapppd/ accessed September 2025
* Coastline, Rock Outcrop and Seamask: SCAR Antarctic Digital Database (ADD), 2024.
* Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA), Antarctic Specially Managed Area (ASMA): www.ats.aq
* Place names: British Antarctic Territory Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
