Abstract:
The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Antarctic Digital Database (ADD) aims to provide
seamless topographic datasets compiled from the best available geographic information. It covers Antarctica
south of 60°S.
The SCAR ADD consists of the following datasets, available to download from this catalogue:
* coastline, including grounding lines and ice shelf fronts
* rock outcrop
* contours
* lakes
* moraine
* streams
* seamask
* ADD data limit at 60°S
The ADD is managed by British Antarctic Survey, see the [website](https://www.bas.ac.uk/project/add/) for more
information on the project.
Previous versions of ADD datasets can be found
[here](https://data.bas.ac.uk/items/8ff8240d-dcfa-4906-ad3b-507929842012/). Not all previous versions are
currently available but we are working to include more soon.
The [ADD map viewer](https://add.scar.org/) also displays supplemental datasets to provide context to the ADD
datasets. You can download these [here](https://data.bas.ac.uk/items/0ed7da71-72e1-46e4-a482-064433d4c73d/).
Purpose:
Seamless topographic datasets of Antarctica south of 60°S. Compiled from the best available geographic
information on behalf of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR).
