There is an international co-ordinating organization, whose website may
help
point the way: the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, based at
the
Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge (England - not
MA!).
Take a look at [http://www.scar.org/].  SCAR acts, i.a., as a 'clearing
house' for those nations producing maps and charts of Antarctica.

Additionally, the British Antarctic Survey (also in Cambridge) has
produced
an updated and downloadable version of its original 1993 CD-ROM: the
'Antarctic Digital Database' (version 3.0) contains "vector topographic
data
for Antarctica".

Sincerely
Francis Herbert (Curator of paper Maps (with a few CD-ROMs), RGS-IBG)

Hi-

I have a patron who is looking for topographic mapping of the Antarctic
Peninsula, specifically near Anvers Island or Gerlache Strait. He says
he's looked on the USGS site w/no luck. We also have an index here from
1987 of "United States Topographic and Other Map Coverage of Antarctica"
which basically shows no mapping done of that area at all. Granted, this
index is 16 years old. Does anyone know of more current mapping? I've
asked the patron to look at http://usarc.usgs.gov/ to see if the mapping
or air photos or satellite images on this site would be of use to him.
Any other ideas?

Ilene
