The National Ice Center (NIC), under sponsorship of the United States Navy, the United States Coast Guard, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), provides sea ice analyses encompassing the "Arctic" and the "Antarctic". These analyses continue the data set established under our previous name, the Joint Ice Center. These atlases continue the near real-time integration of remotely sensed data and point observations and differ only in that the Arctic and Antarctic are split into two separate publications per hemisphere per year. This publication is Supplement 1 to the 12th edition of the annual "Antarctic Sea Ice Atlas" which is published in hard copy format by the NIC. The atlas contains weekly charts depicting the sea ice extent and coverage in the Southern Hemisphere from the last week in October 1997 through December 1997. Future annual atlases will be available in a digital format on CD-ROM through the National Snow and Ice Data Center (http://www-nsidc.colorado.edu). NSIDC is the official archive center for the NIC.
