Geomorphology of Ulu Peninsula, James Ross Island, Antarctica
This study presents a 1:25,000 geomorphological map of the northern sector of Ulu Peninsula, James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula. The map covers an area of c. 250 km 2 , and documents the landforms and surficial sediments of one of the largest ice-free areas in Antarctica, based on remote sensing...
