[BernSzukalski]

The ADD is one of the best available sources of Antarctic topographic data. It is currently managed by the BAS’ Mapping and Geographic Information Centre (MAGIC) on behalf of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). The layers available in Living Atlas are:

Antarctic Contours – contains information of contour value (metres), source, source date and revision date at medium and high resolutions.

Antarctic Coastlines – includes data on coastline type, grounding lines and ice shelf fronts at medium and high resolutions.
