Lineage

Progress Code: completed
Statement: It was not possible to geo-reference oblique photos to coastline shapefiles perfectly. The colony boundaries are less accurate than those derived elsewhere in east Antarctica from vertical aerial photography (eg Vestfolds and Rauers) or ground survey (eg Robinsons).
