Lineage Statement
Data compiled from various mapping and remote sensing sources. Exact data sources are currently missing from the attribute table for the majority of data – the large majority was compiled in 1993 and digitized from the USGS 1:250k reconnaissance series maps dating from 1960s-1990s and DOS 1:250k series maps dating from 1960s and 1970s. Exact data sources can be provided on request in the format of vector lines.
The data newly added for the v7.10 release (South Orkney Islands) was digitised from Sentinel-2 and WorldView-3 satellite images. The exact image IDs and acquisition dates can be found in the attribute table of the dataset.
Please note: due to the versioning of the ADD, there are no versions 7.4-7.9 for this specific dataset.
