This double-sided map features both a topographic and a satellite image map. Its area coverage includes Rothera Research Station (UK), San Martin Station (Argentina) and Teniente Luis Carvajal Station (Chile), as well as previous UK bases, now historic sites, at Detaille Island, Horseshoe Island and Stonington Island. Side A: Shows topographic information including: Coastline; rock exposure; elevation information as contours and selected mountain summit heights; all UK place-names; scientific research stations; Historic Sites and Monuments (HSMs) and Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs). Side B: Shows a Landsat 8 satellite image mosaic of the area with coastline and selected place-names, and includes historical notes about the exploration of the area. The map is printed on water-resistant paper and the folded version comes in a card cover. [Folded Map]

This double-sided topographic map provides an overview, and comparison, of both polar regions at the same scale and with the same geographical extent. Smaller panels show seasonal sea-ice extent for both areas; Arctic climatic and bio-geographical boundaries, and Antarctica’s relationship to the other southern continents. Side A: Antarctica. A topographic map of Antarctica, including: Coastline and ice shelves, bathymetry, ice/rock limits, contours, key mountain summits and hill-shaded terrain, and scientific research stations. Side B: The Arctic. A topographic map of the Arctic, including: Coastline: bathymetry, contours, key mountain summits and hill-shaded terrain, major rivers and lakes, and glaciers and ice caps. It also shows major towns, transport networks, airports and national boundaries. The folded map comes either with an Antarctic card cover (snowy mountains) or an Arctic cover (reindeer). Both versions are identical inside and have the same ISBN. Limits: 90° S – 60° S and 90° N – 60° N (all Antarctica south of 60°S and the Arctic north of 60°N). [Folded Map]

This geophysical and glaciological map shows the surface of the bed beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The surface elevation was created using data from a variety of sources, including many substantial surveys completed since the original Bedmap compilation (Bedmap1) in 2001. In particular, the Bedmap2 ice thickness grid is made from 25 million measurements, over two orders of magnitude more than were used in Bedmap1. In most parts of Antarctica the subglacial landscape is visible in much greater detail than was previously available and the improved data coverage has in many areas revealed the full scale of mountain ranges, valleys, basins and troughs, only fragments of which were previously indicated in local surveys. The map shows the elevation data with key place names and the coastline and grounding line indicated. The map also includes cross-sectional profiles through East and West Antarctica and separate panels showing the geographical distribution of primary survey data and reliability of the bed surface. On the reverse side is an oblique view of the continent with information and statistics given regarding key areas of interest [Folded]

This map was produced in 2024 and contains new and updated data for all of the South Orkney Islands on one side and a detailed map of Signy Island on the reverse. The maps feature topographic details including rock, moraine and ice boundaries, the location of lakes, bathymetry, contours and spot heights. The terrain is indicated with hillshading from a new elevation model (REMAv2), highlighting the mountainous ridges along the centre of the islands. [Folded]

This sheet of the bathymetry and geological setting of the South Sandwich Islands and the associated East Scotia Ridge back-arc spreading centre consists of two sides: side 1, a regional overview of the volcanic arc, trench and back-arc, and side 2, detailed maps of the individual islands. Side 1 displays the bathymetry at scale 1:750 000 of the intra-oceanic, largely submarine South Sandwich arc, the back-arc system and other tectonic boundaries of the subduction system. Satellite images of the islands on side 2 are at scales of 1:50 000 and 1:25 000 with contours and main volcanological features indicated. These maps are the first detailed topological and bathymetric maps of the area. The islands are entirely volcanic in origin, and most have been volcanically or fumarolically active in historic times. Many of the islands are ice-covered, and the map forms a baseline for future glaciological changes caused by volcanic activities and climate change. The back-arc spreading centre consists of nine segments, most of which have rift-like morphologies. [Folded Map]

This map of the geology and bathymetry of the Drake Passage represents an international collaborative effort coordinated by the Spanish Geological Survey (IGME) and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), working together with the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI), the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) and the United States Antarctic Program (USAP). The Drake Passage is an oceanic gateway of approximately 850 km width located between South America and the Antarctic Peninsula that connects the southeastern Pacific and the southwestern Atlantic oceans and influences mantle flow, oceanographic water mass exchanges and migrations of biota.

Geological map of South Georgia 55° S – 54° S and 36° W – 38° W.
This sheet provides an updated geological map of South Georgia incorporating recent geological field observations with pre-existing mapping. South Georgia forms part of a microcontinental block situated along North Scotia Ridge, in turn part of the Scotia arc, a complex, submarine ridge linking southernmost South America to the Antarctic Peninsula via the South Sandwich, South Orkney and South Shetland islands.

British Antarctic Survey Geomap 2 Series, Sheet 1.
Geological map of eastern and northern Graham Land (Antarctica) 67° S – 63° S and 54° W – 64° W.
This sheet provides the first interpretative geological map of the eastern coast of northern Graham Land and is a collation of geological fieldwork, airborne and satellite observations from the 1950s to the present day. The geology of eastern Graham Land has strong affinities to that of Patagonia and there was probably considerable overlap between the northern Antarctic Peninsula and western Patagonia from the Late Palaeozoic up until Miocene separation. …more…

South Orkney Islands 61° S – 60° S and 44° W – 47° W.
This sheet provides an updated geological map of the South Orkney Islands incorporating recent geological observations with survey work from the 1960s to the 1980s. The South Orkney microcontinent, originally contiguous with the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, was separated as a result of the formation of the Powell Basin during the separation of Antarctica from South America and the opening of the Drake Passage.
