Abstract:
Topographic Map of Signy Island, showing contours, spot heights, locations of huts, routes and single person
travel area.
Projection: Lambert Conformal Conic, standard parallels at 60°41’S and 60°44’S, central meridian at 45°38’W,
horizontal datum: WGS84.
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).
Purpose:
Topographic Map of Signy Island, showing contours, spot heights, locations of huts, routes and single person
travel area.
