This record consists of 5 different datasets covering the Alexander Island region of Antarctica: coastline (including grounding line and ice shelf fronts), contours, spot heights, rock outcrop and lakes. The data have been produced for a new topographic map of Alexander Island at 1:500,000 scale, produced by the Mapping and Geographic Information Centre, British Antarctic Survey.

The data are suitable for a 1:500,000 scale map but may be suitable for larger scales in certain areas. They have been created from source data ranging from 2022 - 2025. The data primarily cover Alexander Island, and also cover Rothschild, Charcot and Latady islands, as well as Wilkins and George VI ice shelves, and the Rymill Coast section of Palmer Land on the Antarctic Peninsula.

The datasets were created using a mixture of GIS software, primarily digitised from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery or extracted from high resolution, published elevation models. Exact details of each dataset can be found in the lineage statements.
