Brief description

This GIS dataset includes soundings, bathymetric contours and bathymetric areas.
The spatial extent of the data ranges from the coast of Kemp Land to the western end of the West Ice Shelf.
The data have been formatted according to the SCAR Feature Catalogue (see Related URL).
Some of the data are displayed in the map 'Prydz Bay', a 1:1000000 bathymetric map published in September 1997, map number 7 in the SCAR Map Catalogue (see Related URL).
Does not conform to Australian Antarctic Spatial Model.
