High 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. Covering all land and ice shelves south of 60S. Suitable for topographic mapping and analysis....
