Abstract:
An incomplete dataset of moraine in Antarctica. Data have been prepared from various map and remotely sensed
datasets.
Changes in v7.10 include new data for the South Orkney Islands and the correction of some erroneous polygons.
Data compiled, managed and distributed by the Mapping and Geographic Information Centre and the UK Polar Data
Centre, British Antarctic Survey on behalf of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research.
Purpose:
Moraine features in Antarctica derived from maps and remote sensing data. Incomplete.

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.
