Each point was then converted into a region using the ArcInfo Thiessen command, ie region boundaries were created midway between points. The resulting polygons for each point were then merged together based on the source data field to produce this final data set. The Antarctic coastline was then pasted into the dataset to correctly represent this edge.

The contours used in the map were derived from a number of different data sources:
1 - Russian Space Photography, ERS-1 Radar Altimeter data and digitised from 1:1 million scale maps produced by National Mapping Australia;
2 - Antarctic Digital Database Version 2;
3 - ERS-1 and ERS-2 Radar Altimeter data (BKG, Germany).
This shapefile shows in which part of the map each source was used.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttp://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/mapcat/display_map.cfm?map_id=12892Amery Region Map on the AADC map catalogueGET DATAhttps://data.aad.gov.au/eds/4738/downloadDownload a copy of the datasetVIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttp://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/metadata/citation.cfm?entry_id=ERS_CONT_SOURCE_AMERYCitation reference for this metadata record and datasetERS_DTMNot providedScience AssociatedAMD/AUCEOSAMDCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 10.22003-02-112019-04-051970-01-01T00:00:001970-01-01T00:00:00Not provided
