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).
