Abstract:
Satellite image map of Bunger Hills East/Wilkes Land, Antarctica. This map was produced for the Australian Antarctic Division by AUSLIG Commercial (now Geoscience Australia), in Australia, in 1992. The map is at a scale of 1:50000, and was produced from four multispectral space imagery SPOT 1 scenes. It is projected on a Transverse Mercator projection, and shows glaciers/ice shelves and gives some historical text information. The map has both geographical and UTM co-ordinates.

Access Constraints
Hardcopy satellite image map. The georeferenced satellite images used to create the map are stored digitally on magnetic tapes LS109 and LS110. These images will be archived at the Australian archives. They are available digitally from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre. Please contact either the GIS or Mapping Officer.
