including: Coastline; ice shelves; rock exposure; contours, selected mountain summit heights and hill-shaded

with geographical information about Antarctica such as areas of major features and highest mountains.

at 69°30′. It shows topographic features in more detail than side A; more comprehensive place names;
permanent and summer-only Scientific Research Stations and Historic Sites and Monuments.
Purpose:
This double-sided map provides a regional overview of the Antarctic Peninsula and Weddell Sea area on side A
with more detailed coverage of the northern Antarctic Peninsula region on side B.
