Summary
Abstract: Beaver Lake and Loewe Massif Features Mapped from SPOT 5 Imagery.

The purpose of this Australian Antarctic Data Centre project was to map features on and around Beaver Lake and the Loewe Massif using a rectified SPOT 5 satellite image. The image was captured on 11 January 2004. The features mapped were to be provided as a series of ArcInfo Coverages in Geographicals, conforming to the Feature Catalogue.
