Description
The Australian Antarctic Data Centre's Larsemann Hills topographic GIS dataset was mapped from aerial photography. Refer to the metadata record 'Larsemann Hills - Mapping from aerial photography captured February 1998', Entry ID gis135.
Since then GIS data with the locations and attributes of a range of features has been created from various sources, often for the purpose of environmental management. The features include station buildings, refuges, camp sites, management zones, helicopter landing areas, anchorages, beaches, a grave, monuments and Physics equipment.
The data are included in the GIS data available for download from a Related URL below.
The data conforms to the SCAR Feature Catalogue which includes data quality information. See a Related URL below.
Data described by this metadata record has Dataset_id = 6.
Data quality information for each feature is included within the dataset.
