2 Antarctica and the Arctic (BAS) [Folded Map]

Sorry, not available

This double-sided topographic map provides an overview, and comparison, of both polar regions at the same scale and with the same geographical extent. Smaller panels show seasonal sea-ice extent for both areas; Arctic climatic and bio-geographical boundaries, and Antarctica’s relationship to the other southern continents. Side A: Antarctica. A topographic map of Antarctica, including: Coastline and ice shelves, bathymetry, ice/rock limits, contours, key mountain summits and hill-shaded terrain, and scientific research stations. Side B: The Arctic. A topographic map of the Arctic, including: Coastline: bathymetry, contours, key mountain summits and hill-shaded terrain, major rivers and lakes, and glaciers and ice caps. It also shows major towns, transport networks, airports and national boundaries. The folded map comes either with an Antarctic card cover (snowy mountains) or an Arctic cover (reindeer). Both versions are identical inside and have the same ISBN. Limits: 90° S – 60° S and 90° N – 60° N (all Antarctica south of 60°S and the Arctic north of 60°N). [Folded Map]

3 Bathymetry Geological Setting of the South Sandwich Islands Volcanic Arc [Folded Map]

Sorry, not available

This sheet of the bathymetry and geological setting of the South Sandwich Islands and the associated East Scotia Ridge back-arc spreading centre consists of two sides: side 1, a regional overview of the volcanic arc, trench and back-arc, and side 2, detailed maps of the individual islands. Side 1 displays the bathymetry at scale 1:750 000 of the intra-oceanic, largely submarine South Sandwich arc, the back-arc system and other tectonic boundaries of the subduction system. Satellite images of the islands on side 2 are at scales of 1:50 000 and 1:25 000 with contours and main volcanological features indicated. These maps are the first detailed topological and bathymetric maps of the area. The islands are entirely volcanic in origin, and most have been volcanically or fumarolically active in historic times. Many of the islands are ice-covered, and the map forms a baseline for future glaciological changes caused by volcanic activities and climate change. The back-arc spreading centre consists of nine segments, most of which have rift-like morphologies. [Folded Map]

4 Bathymetry and Geological Setting of the Drake Passage [Folded Map]

Sorry, not available

This map of the geology and bathymetry of the Drake Passage represents an international collaborative effort coordinated by the Spanish Geological Survey (IGME) and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), working together with the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI), the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) and the United States Antarctic Program (USAP). The Drake Passage is an oceanic gateway of approximately 850 km width located between South America and the Antarctic Peninsula that connects the southeastern Pacific and the southwestern Atlantic oceans and influences mantle flow, oceanographic water mass exchanges and migrations of biota.

British Antarctic Survey Geomap 2 Series, Sheet 3.
Geological map of South Georgia 55° S – 54° S and 36° W – 38° W.
This sheet provides an updated geological map of South Georgia incorporating recent geological field observations with pre-existing mapping. South Georgia forms part of a microcontinental block situated along North Scotia Ridge, in turn part of the Scotia arc, a complex, submarine ridge linking southernmost South America to the Antarctic Peninsula via the South Sandwich, South Orkney and South Shetland islands.

This sheet provides the first interpretative geological map of the eastern coast of northern Graham Land and is a collation of geological fieldwork, airborne and satellite observations from the 1950s to the present day. The geology of eastern Graham Land has strong affinities to that of Patagonia and there was probably considerable overlap between the northern Antarctic Peninsula and western Patagonia from the Late Palaeozoic up until Miocene separation. …more…

15 Greenland and the European Arctic [Folded Map]

Sorry, not available

This new map is at 1:4,000,000 scale covering a region not previously covered on one map sheet. There is a large information sheet on the reverse with topical information about the Arctic, produced by the UK Natural Environment Research Council Arctic Office. The map and information sheet will be an excellent resource for tour visitors, scientists and all with an interest in the Arctic. It is printed on high-quality paper by map printers Dennis Maps as a large format, double-sided sheet. Side A: The map covers the eastern Canadian Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, northern Scotland, Svalbard, Scandinavia, Finland, and the western edge of the Russian Arctic, including Franz Josef Land. Features including glaciers, bays, islands and lakes are named, and the extent of permanent ice is shown. The map includes minimum and maximum sea ice extents for the region and also for the whole Arctic in a small inset map. Major towns, places commonly visited by tour ships and scientific research stations are shown on the map. Side B: The reverse side features a vibrant information panel covering many aspects of Arctic life. Topics such as polar bear conservation, indigenous people and Arctic warming are covered, with contributions from organisations including the UK Met Office and The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

16 James Ross Island (BAS) [Folded Map]

Sorry, not available

This sheet provides an updated geology of the Miocene to Holocene James Ross Island Volcanic Group (JRIVG). The JRIVG is the largest Neogene volcanic field in the Antarctic Peninsula region and extends over 7000 km¬2. It comprises a major shield volcano (Mt Haddington) and numerous monogenetic flank and satellite volcanoes. Eruptions were mainly of two types: lava-fed deltas and tuff cones. The commonest are lava-fed deltas, a type of volcanic formation resembling a sedimentary delta but formed entirely of volcanic rocks. The tuff cones are piles of yellowish pyroclastic rocks (lapilli tuffs) hundreds of metres high that formed during violent explosions mainly in the sea during ice-poor interglacial periods although it is unlikely that James Ross Island was ever completely ice free during the past 6 m.y.
