The terrestrial areas of the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic are being classified into regions for comparing biodiversity and patterns of distribution.
Biogeographical analyses of the Antarctic Regions has recently been published in Diversity and Distributions.
Download the shapefiles associated with these analyses (including expert-defined EBA bioregions, the new Antarctic Conservation Biogeographic Regions – ACBRs and the Antarctic Specially Protected Area network).

The Marine areas are defined by SCAR-MarBIN. See a map of the extents of data that can be used in this portal.
