Darwin/Hatherton Glacier
Our vector topographic data at 1:50,000 scale for the Darwin/Hatherton Glacier in Antarctica supports the Latitudinal Gradient Project, a collaborative scientific project involving the Victoria Land Coast.
The data provided is based on ALOS PRISM satellite imagery taken during the 2006/07 season. It is supplied in the Darwin Glacier Lambert Conformal Conic 2000 projection. The survey work for this data was undertaken between 2007 and 2010.
