Scale0 vector polygon of the Antarctic coastline - VERSION 4.0
High resolution (Scale0) polygon dataset of the Antarctic Coastline. A compilation of source data from eleven national mapping agencies at data scales no larger than 1:200,000/1:250:000. Polygon dataset was originally published in tiled Coverage format. Data has since been converted and merged to a single dataset and exported to shapefile and geopackage formats. Scale0 is the highest resolution that was produced.
Each polygon has a surface attribute (CST00SRF) indicating the type of feature it represents, ie. ice shelf, ice tongue, land, ocean and rumple.
For information on the source of polygon delineations, refer to coincident features in the polyline dataset, Scale0 vector polylines of the Antarctic coastline v4.0.
Revisions for version 4.0 were carried out and managed by the British Antarctic Survey and funded by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR).

Methodology:
Compiled using data from eleven national mapping agencies at data scales no larger than 1:200,000/1:250:000. Dataset was originally published in tiled Coverage format, using Esri ArcInfo. Data has now been merged to a single dataset using ArcMap v10.8 and exported to shapefile and geopackage formats. A number of slithers were removed from the merged data where source tiles were adjacent. Each polygon has a surface attribute (CST00SRF) indicating the type of feature it represents, ie. ice shelf, ice tongue. Data sources are dated between 1956-1997.
Data quality:
Scale0 is the highest resolution that was produced.
Due to the very wide and legacy sources of the data for this compilation, the dataset attributes are inconsistent in format and incomplete. The data are published as they stood at the time of their first publication in 2002. The most recent version of the Antarctic Digital Database is available at: https://data.bas.ac.uk/collections/e74543c0-4c4e-4b41-aa33-5bb2f67df389/
