A mosaic showing six small maps of regions in Antarctica and South Georgia. These are examples of the maps that will be released in the catalogue.
We're developing a new Map Catalogue where you can access a variety of general interest maps, available with an open licence!

You'll also be able to browse our published maps and BAS staff members can access these and other restricted internal maps ๐ฅณ

What Polar maps would you like to see here?
