South Georgia (12A and 12B) | British Antarctic Survey

This double-sided map shows South Georgia on one side and the Shackleton Crossing route on the other. It includes the locations of abandoned whaling stations, information notes about South Georgia and its history, and a brief account of Shackleton's crossing.

Side A: Displays topographical information, including: coastline and offshore rocks; bathymetry; rock outcrops and moraine; elevational information such as selected mountain peak contours and heights; place names; scientific research stations and abandoned whaling stations.

Side B: Covers the route taken by Sir Ernest Shackleton on the first-ever crossing of South Georgia in 1916, which is followed by many intrepid explorers today. 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.

The map is printed on waterproof paper, and the folded version comes in a cardboard cover.
