Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Geodatabase that presents the data from the Surficial geology of the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctic 1st edition map product (eCat 145535). Purpose Geodatabase of the Surficial Geology of the Vestfold Hills (eCat 145535). Here we present the GIS dataset for the surficial geology map for the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica. On the coast of Prydz Bay, the region is one of the largest ice-free areas in Antarctica. Surficial geology mapping at 1:2000 was undertaken with field observations in the 2018/19 and 2019/20 summer seasons as well as aerial photography and satellite imagery interpretation. Units are based on the Geological Survey of Canada Surficial Data Model Version 2.4.0 (Deblonde et al 2019). This geodatabase, set of layer files (including sample and field observation sites), and metadata statement complement the flat pdf map published in 2021 - https://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/145535.
