Metadata details

edward_viii_sat

All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

    Description

    Satellite image map of Edward VIII Gulf, Kemp Land, Antarctica. This map was produced for the Australian Antarctic Division by AUSLIG (now Geoscience Australia) Commercial, in Australia, in 1993. The map is at a scale of 1:100000, and was produced from a Landsat TM (WRS 139-107) scene (bands 2,3 and 4). It is projected on a Transverse Mercator projection, and shows glaciers/ice shelves and penguin colonies, and gives some historical text information. The map has both geographical and UTM co-ordinates.
