Abstract
A new satellite image map, in the scale of 1: 100,000 of King George Island, Antarctica, is presented. A heterogeneous data set composed of differential GPS surveys, obtained during two Brazilian-German expeditions in 1997/98 and 1999/2000. Digitized contour lines from existing maps and data from theAntarctic Digital Database (ADD) have been combined to compute a digital elevation model. The derived contour lines have been superimposed onto an up-to-date SPOT satellite mosaic, which visualizes the topographic settings and forms the base of the map. In addition, a comprehensive selection of place names following international standards and other thematic information is included. Detailed meta information on data origin, map compilation and estimated precision is offered in a four-language legend.
