This record consists of 3 different datasets covering the Adelaide Island and Arrowsmith Peninsula region of Antarctica: contours, spot heights, and lakes. The data have been produced for an updated version of the 'Adelaide Island and Arrowsmith Peninsula' 1:250,000 scale map, produced by the Mapping and Geographic Information Centre, British Antarctic Survey. The data are suitable for a 1:250,000 scale map but may be suitable for larger scales in certain areas. They have been created from source data ranging from 2022 - 2025. The datasets were created using a mixture of GIS software, primarily extracted from high resolution published elevation models, and digitised from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. Exact details of each dataset can be found in the lineage statement. The data is useful for cartographers as well as scientists interested in the mapping of this region. The data is used on the map alongside further data published in v7.11 of the Antarctic Digital Database, November 2025 (coastline: https://doi.org/10.5285/cc0b73c0-3b53-40fb-ae84-b5dce4ac163a and rock outcrop: https://doi.org/10.5285/815525ca-cefe-4fbf-9224-3ee784e7de4e).
