Methodology:
Data compiled from various mapping and remote sensing sources. Exact data sources and dates are contained within the attribute table of the data.
The data newly added for the v7.10 release (South Orkney Islands) was digitised from Sentinel-2 and WorldView-3 satellite images. The exact image IDs and acquisition dates can be found in the attribute table of the dataset.
Please note: due to the versioning of the ADD, there are no versions 7.4-7.9 for this specific dataset.
Data quality:
This dataset might not comprehensively contain all lakes in Antarctica, due to the age and quality of the data.
