Code Feature Type Definition
117 Bathymetric contour A line that connects points of equal depth on the sub-marine terrain surface.
123 Bedrock contour line Imaginary lines that connect points of equal value of bedrock surface elevation
128 Blue ice Bands of transparent ice containing no air bubbles, its mass acquiring a blueish tint.
129 Blue ice boundary The boundary of the blue ice.
138 Cable An assembly of wires within or without a composite sheath.
147 Cliff boundary The boundary of the cliff.
148 Coastline A line or zone where the land meets the sea or some other large expanse of water. This includes the boundaries of continent and island feature types.
152 Contour line Imaginary lines, or lines on a map or chart, that connect points of equal value, e.g. elevation of the land surface.
160 Crevasse field boundary The boundary line of a crevasse field.
176 Fault A fracture in earth materials, along which the opposite sides have been relatively displaced parallel to the plane of movement.
197 Glacier boundary The approximate boundary of a mass of flowing ice.
199 Grounding line The boundary or zone where the continental ice is grounded and where it floats.
209 Ice boundary The boundary of the ice.
189 Ice front The vertical cliff forming the seaward face of an ice shelf or other floating glacier, varying in height to 2 to 50 m above sea level.
214 Ice rise boundary The boundary of the ice rise.
598 Ice shelf boundary The boundary of the ice shelf.
554 Massif boundary The boundary line of a massif.
246 Moraine boundary The boundary of the moraine.
252 Path A way or track laid down for walking or made by continual treading
273 Reef A mass or ridge of rocks rising above the surrounding sea or lake bottom to or nearly to the surface, and dangerous to navigation of vessels.
449 Reef boundary The boundary line of the reef.
280 Rock boundary The boundary line of a lithological unit, where not defined by a fault, dyke or vein.
281 Route Any established or selected course for passage or travel.
292 Scree boundary The boundary of the scree.
295 Sea ice boundary The boundary of sea ice.
301 Shore Land that adjoins sea or large body of water
303 Snow Atmospheric precipitation of ice crystals.
579 Subglacial lake Subglacial - Pertaining to the environment beneath a glacier. It refers to the processes by which a glacier moves across its floor in addition to the movements of meltwater at the base of the ice. Lake - An enclosed body of water, usually but not necessarily fresh water, from which the sea is excluded.
343 Wall An ice cliff forming the seaward margin of an inland ice sheet, ice cap, ice piedmont or ice rise. The rock basement may be at or below sea level.
345 Water body An enclosed body of water, usually but not necessarily fresh water, from which the sea is excluded.
