Brief description

Contours for the Amery Region map published by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre in November 2002 (see link below). This contour data were derived from Russian space photography, ERS-1 and ERS-2 Radar altimeter data (BKG, Germany) and the Antarctic Digital Database, Version 2. Refer to the contour source diagram - digital data (refer to metadata record ERS_CONT_SOURCE_AMERY) or view map (see link below). The contour interval is 500 metres from 500 to 3000 metres. There are also 200 metre contours. ESA's two European Remote Sensing (ERS) satellites, ERS-1 and 2, were launched into the same orbit in 1991 and 1995 respectively.
