              * Operations data: BAS Operations, 2025. COMNAP Antarctic Facilities List, 2024.
              * Spot Heights: extracted from REMA v2 2m DEM and generated programatically.
              * Contours and Hillshade: derived from Polar Geospatial Center REMA v2 100m mosaic. Where there were holes 
              in this dataset, these have been filled with Copernicus GLO-90 Digital Elevation Model, downsampled to 
              100m. This dataset was smoothed for the purposes of this map.
              * Bird colony information: MAPPPD and limited local information- absence of a bird colony symbol does not 
              indicate absence of birds. https://www.penguinmap.com/mapppd/ accessed September 2025
              * Coastline, Rock Outcrop and Seamask: SCAR Antarctic Digital Database (ADD), 2024.
