| Code | Feature Type | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | ACC | Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's largest current, an unbroken zone around the globe between 45-55 deg south. Driven by world's westerly winds. The ocean south of the convergence differs greatly from northern waters in temperature, density and salinity. |
| 101 | Aerial | A structure or device used to transmit or receive radio waves. This includes 'standard', microwave, satellite, or radar antennas and their support structure. |
| 112 | AWS | An Automatic Weather Station |
| 120 | Beacon | A structure emitting a guiding or warning signal for navigation |
| 135 | Building | A permanent walled and roofed construction or the ruin of such a construction. |
| 140 | Camp | A temporary residence, when away from the station. |
| 145 | Claim | An area claimed by a country as an external territory of that country. |
| 149 | Contaminated area | Any site or region that is damaged, harmed or made unfit for use by the introduction of unwanted substances, particularly microorganisms, chemicals, toxic and radioactive materials and wastes. |
| 153 | Control point | A location where the geographic coordinates have been measured. |
| 154 | Convention | An area subject to an international convention; will generally be the CCAMLR (Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources). |
| 113 | Drainage Basin | A region or area bounded by a drainage divide and occupied by a drainage system. |
| 191 | Fuel depot | A storeplace for drums of fuel. |
| 193 | Gear Depot | A place for storing goods or vehicles. |

| 223 | Island | A land mass, especially one smaller than a continent, entirely surrounded by water. |
| 229 | Landing area | Any locality either on land, water or structures, including airports/helipads and intermediate landing fields, which is used, or intended to be used, for the landing and takeoff of aircraft. Landing areas may or may not have facilities for the shelter and servicing of aircraft, or for receiving or discharging passengers or cargo. |
| 242 | Mast | An upright post or lattice-work structure for supporting radio antennas or similar features. Usually supported by guys. (Non directional beacons are stored under beacons) |
| 244 | Mooring | A buoy secured to the bottom by permanent moorings with means for mooring a vessel by use of its anchor chain or mooring lines. |
| 597 | Ocean structure | To include such features as fronts and currents. Attribute data defines these. |
| 255 | PF | Polar Front (PF). A frontal feature within the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) |
| 260 | Pole | A tall, slender and rounded length of wood or metal, generally vertical, used to give structural support for utility features such as the electrical fittings and cables. May or may not be supported by guys. |
| 267 | Protected area | An area of land and/or sea especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity and/or of natural and associated cultural resources. The area is managed through legal or other effective means. |
| 269 | Quarry | An open or surface working or excavation for the extraction of building stone, ore, coal, gravel, or minerals. |
| 271 | Radome | A dome or covering, protecting communications equipment eg. a radar installation. |
| 274 | Refuge | A shelter from extreme or dangerous environmental conditions such as those posed by the weather. |
| 275 | Repeater | A device for automatic re-transmission or amplification of electrically transmitted messages eg. radio waves. |
| 281 | Route | Any established or selected course for passage or travel. |
| 285 | sACCf | Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current Front (aACCf). A frontal feature within the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) |
| 286 | SAF | Subantarctic Front (SAF). A frontal feature within the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) |
| 310 | Spot height | Altitude of a point on the land surface |
| 312 | Station | A place where there is permanent human habitation and infrastructure serving as a base for scientific research. |
| 313 | STF | The Subtropical Front (STF) is considered the northern limit of the Subantarctic Surface Water |
| 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. |
| 345 | Water body | An enclosed body of water, usually but not necessarily fresh water, from which the sea is excluded. |
| 347 | Way point | A navigation marker. |
