This double-sided map shows South Georgia on one side and the Shackleton Crossing route on the other. It includes the location of abandoned whaling stations, information notes about South Georgia and its history, and a brief summary of Shackleton's crossing.
Side A: Displays topographic information including: coastline and offshore rocks; bathymetry; rock outcrop and moraine; elevation information such as contours and selected heights of mountain peaks; place names; scientific research stations and abandoned whaling stations.
Side B: Covers the route taken by Sir Ernest Shackleton on the first crossing of South Georgia in 1916 and which is followed today by many intrepid explorers. This 1:40,000 scale map contains detailed topographic data created from VHR satellite imagery, with 1:25,000 scale insets of key areas. A cross-section of the route is also shown.
