Abstract:
An A4 map of the island of South Georgia in the Southern Ocean. The map includes land cover split into ice and
ice-free ground, moraine and lakes. The locations of disused whaling stations are shown, as well as the
location of two current research stations. The tallest mountain (Mount Paget) is shown on the map, alongside
selected place names. A small inset map is displayed in the corner, indicating South Georgia's location
within the wider South Atlantic region.
Map projection: WGS84 South Georgia Lambert, EPSG 3762.
Data sources and references can be found in the lineage.
Purpose:
An A4 map of the island of South Georgia in the Southern Ocean, showing research stations and disused whaling
stations.
