The GIS data was produced following a three week expedition to the region onboard the Alfred Wegener Institute research vessel Polarstern (cruise ANT-XXIII/9) in 2007, and subsequent analysis of aerial and field photography on return to Australia. The results are discussed in the expedition report and the following manuscripts. Cosmogenic exposure samples that will further constrain the age of ice retreat in the region are expected to be finalised during 2012. The data are intended to accompany existing polygons that detail the lakes, bedrock and penguin breeding sites (i.e. areas of biogenic sediment) from the area that are already present in the AAD digital database.
