Antarctic Digital Database Viewer

The Antarctic Digital Database (ADD) Viewer serves as a primary resource for geographical information covering the Antarctic continent. It offers a user-friendly interface to explore and access a comprehensive collection of geospatial data, essential for scientific research, environmental management, and logistical planning in this unique polar region.

Developed and maintained by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), the ADD provides fundamental datasets, including coastlines, ice shelves, nunataks, and various other topographic and glaciological features. Users can interact with the data directly through the viewer or proceed to download specific datasets for more in-depth analysis and integration into their own GIS projects.

This platform ensures that researchers, policymakers, and the public have reliable and up-to-date access to crucial Antarctic geographical information, supporting international collaboration and informed decision-making regarding the continent's future. The availability of open data through this viewer significantly aids global efforts in understanding and protecting Antarctica.
