A coastline of Kalaallit Nunaat/ Greenland covering all land and islands, produced in 2017 for the BAS map ''Greenland and the European Arctic''. The dataset was produced by extracting the land mask from the Greenland BedMachine dataset and manually editing anomalous data. Some missing islands were added and glacier fronts were updated using 2017 satellite imagery. The dataset can be used for cartography, analysis and as a mask, amongst other uses. At very large scales, the data will appear angular due to the nature of being extracted from a raster with 150 m cell size, but the dataset should be suitable for use at most scales and can be edited by the user to exclude very small islands if required. The projection of the dataset is WGS 84 NSIDC Sea Ice Polar Stereographic North, EPSG 3413. The dataset does not promise to cover every island and coastlines were digitised using the data creator''s interpretation of the landforms from the images.

A new version of this dataset exists. To see the last version of the Antarctic Digital Database, have a look here: https://data.bas.ac.uk/collections/e74543c0-4c4e-4b41-aa33-5bb2f67df389/ Coastline for Antarctica created from various mapping and remote sensing sources, consisting of the following coast types: ice coastline, rock coastline, grounding line, ice shelf and front, ice rumple, and rock against ice shelf. Covering all land and ice shelves south of 60S. Suitable for topographic mapping and analysis. High resolution versions of ADD data are suitable for scales larger than 1:1,000,000. The largest suitable scale is changeable and dependent on the region. Major changes in v7.5 include updates to ice shelf fronts in the following regions: Seal Nunataks and Scar Inlet region, the Ronne-Filchner Ice Shelf, between the Brunt Ice Shelf and Riiser-Larsen Peninsula, the Shackleton and Conger ice shelves, and Crosson, Thwaites and Pine Island. Small areas of grounding line and ice coastlines were also updated in some of these regions as needed. Data compiled, managed and distributed by the Mapping and Geographic Information Centre and the UK Polar Data Centre, British Antarctic Survey on behalf of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research.

The first edition of the Antarctic Digital Database (ADD) coastline polyline dataset. A compilation of source data from eleven national mapping agencies at data scales no larger than 1:200,000/1:250:000. Line dataset was originally published on CD-ROM in 1993, in tiled Coverage format. Data has since been converted merged to a single dataset and exported to shapefile and geopackage formats. Scale0 is the highest resolution that was produced. The ADD project was first proposed in 1990 by a Cambridge (UK) based consortium comprising British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) and the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (now UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC)). International participation in the project was agreed through the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and its Working Group on Geodesy and Geographic Information. The majority of data capture data management was undertaken in Cambridge, UK. Work was initially funded by BAS and by The British Petroleum Company p.l.c (BP). Other contributing nations sponsored their own data capture through either their national mapping agencies or their Antarctic research organisations. BP had no commercial interest in the project and the information gained from this database was in the public domain. BAS, SPRI, WCMC and SCAR, by entering into this project with BP, in no way implied their acceptance or endorsement of any exploration activity for oil, gas or minerals in Antarctica.

The second edition of the Antarctic Digital Database (ADD) coastline polyline dataset. A compilation of source data from eleven national mapping agencies at data scales no larger than 1:200,000/1:250:000. Line dataset was originally published on CD-ROM in 1998, in tiled Coverage format. Data has since been converted merged to a single dataset and exported to shapefile and geopackage formats. Scale0 is the highest resolution that was produced. ADD Version 2.0 contained many amendments to the original data. Most corrections were made in Quadrant 4, which covers the Antarctic Peninsula, parts of Ellsworth Land and Coats Land. A few features such as Doake Ice Rumples, were inadvertently omitted from ADD Version 1.0, so were included in this version for the first time. Data for the Ronne and Filchner ice shelves were also upgraded. A new map of James Ross Island was incorporated, and the positions of ice fronts of the northern Larsen Ice Shelf, Wordie Ice Shelf and Wilkins Ice Shelf were also amended using the latest available information. Other minor changes were also made and documented in the ADD Manual (https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/536533/). The UK Consortium behind the ADD Version 1.0, passed the ongoing maintenance and revision of the ADD to British Antarctic Survey (BAS) for Version 2.0.

High resolution (Scale0) polyline dataset of the Antarctic Coastline. A compilation of source data from eleven national mapping agencies at data scales no larger than 1:200,000/1:250:000. Line dataset was originally published in tiled Coverage format. Data has since been converted and merged to a single dataset and exported to shapefile and geopackage formats. Scale0 is the highest resolution that was produced. Changes in ADD Version 3.0 included ammendments to ice shelf positions, including many other minor corrections. These are available to view in detail in the ADD Manual (https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/20362/). Funding was recieved from Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research (SCAR) in 1999 which enabled British Antarctic Survey (BAS) to compile, manage and distribute the ADD.

The first edition of the Antarctic Digital Database (ADD) coastline polygon dataset. A compilation of source data from eleven national mapping agencies at data scales no larger than 1:200,000/1:250:000. Polygon dataset was originally published on CD-ROM in 1993, in tiled Coverage format. Data has since been converted and merged to a single dataset and exported to shapefile and geopackage formats. Scale0 is the highest resolution that was produced. Each polygon has a surface attribute (CST00SRF) indicating the type of feature it represents, ie. ice shelf, ice tongue, land, ocean and rumple. For information on source of polygon delineations, refer to coincident features in the polyline dataset, Scale0 vector polylines of the Antarctic coastline v1.0. The ADD project was first proposed in 1990 by a Cambridge (UK) based consortium comprising British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) and the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (now UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre(UNEP-WCMC)).

Medium resolution versions of ADD data are suitable for scales smaller than 1:1,000,000, although certain regions will appear more detailed than others due to variable data availability and coastline characteristics. Changes in v7.7 include updates Brunt Ice Shelf, ice fronts on the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula, Pine Island and Thwaites Glaciers and the ice fronts and coastline around Charcot Island. Data quality checks were also performed to ensure existing features were categorised correctly around Getz Ice Shelf.
