Medium resolution vector polygons of the Antarctic coastline

Coastline for Antarctica created from various mapping and remote sensing sources, provided as polygons with 'land', 'ice shelf', 'ice tongue' or 'rumple' attribute. This dataset has been generalised from the high resolution vector polygons. Covering all land and ice shelves south of 60S. Suitable for topographic mapping and analysis. 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.

基于多种测绘与遥感数据源构建的南极洲海岸线数据集，以矢量多边形形式提供，每个多边形附带“陆地（land）”、“冰架（ice shelf）”、“冰舌（ice tongue）”与“冰褶皱（rumple）”四类属性之一。本数据集系由高分辨率矢量多边形数据泛化生成，覆盖南纬60°以南的全部陆地与冰架，适用于地形测绘与分析工作。本数据集由英国南极调查局（British Antarctic Survey）下属的测绘与地理信息中心（Mapping and Geographic Information Centre）及英国极地数据中心（UK Polar Data Centre）代表南极研究科学委员会（Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research）进行编制、管理与分发。
