  • Bathymetric Contours and height range polygons of approaches to Casey Station, derived from RAN Fair sheet, Aurora Australis and GEBCO soundings.

  • This dataset contains bathymetry (water depth), ship's heading, ship's speed and position data collected during the Nella Dan Voyage 4 1987-88. This was the Nella Dan's final voyage. Some marine science was carried out en route to Macquarie Island from Hobart. Data are available online from the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (see Related URL below). For further information, see the Marine Science Support Voyage Report at the Related URL below.

  • This dataset contains bathymetry (water depth), ship's heading, ship's speed and position data collected during the Nella Dan Voyage 7 1986-87. This was a marine science voyage which also visited Davis. Data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (see Related URL below). For further information, see the Marine Science Support Voyage Report at the Related URL below.

  • Bathymetric Contours and height range polygons of approaches to Davis Station, derived from RAN Fair sheet, Aurora Australis and GEBCO soundings.

  • This GIS dataset is the result of the interpolation of bathymetry from depth measurements made in Long and Tryne Fjords in the Vestfold Hills, Antarctica (see Entry: VH_bathy_99). The Topogrid command within the ArcInfo GIS software, version 8.0.2, was used to do the interpolation. Coastline and spot height (heights above sea level) data, extracted from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre's Vestfold Hills topographic GIS dataset (see Entry: vest_hills_gis), was also used as input data to optimise the interpolation close to the coastline. See related URLs for a map showing the interpolated bathymetry.

  • This data set contains locations of sample sites for Ellis Fjord (1989), Organic Lake (1985) and Deep Lake (1975, 1975) in the Vestfold Hills. Unfortunately little is known as to what samples were collected. It is believed that water samples were taken at all locations, and that bottom sediment samples were taken at least at Deep Lake. When questioned in 2009, the investigating scientist was unable to remember exactly what work was done. The original maps may provide some clues.

  • A polygonised bathymetric dataset covering the Southern Ocean. The dataset was compiled from data sourced from the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) Digital Atlas, 2003 edition, and the Antarctic Digital Database, version 4.

  • This dataset contains bathymetry (water depth), ship's heading, ship's speed and position data collected during the Nella Dan Voyage 1 1985-86. This was a marine science voyage departing Hobart, visiting Heard Island, beset at Amundsen Bay and returning to Hobart. Data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL given below).

  • Acoustic sounder charts were collected at six locations during Australian Antarctic Division Voyage 6 1994/95 (BANGSS) using the Kongsberg EA200 Echo Sounder on the Aurora Australis. BANGSS is an acronym for Big ANtarctic Geological and Seismic Survey. The voyage began on 6 February 1995 and finished on 12 April 1995. Each chart is labelled with information about when and where the data was collected: date, time, latitude and longitude. The charts provide a profile of the sea floor and have a time axis with numbers in the following format. the first two digits are the day the next two digits are the month the next five digits are the time (UTC) the last ten digits are the maximum value on the depth axis eg 2402005 360000000500 means 24 February 5:36 UTC and the maximum value on the depth axis is 500 metres See a Related URL for a link to information about the voyage including the voyage report.

  • This dataset contains the outdated and redundant bathymetric contour data for some of the lakes of the Vestfold Hills. Lake data for Burton Lake, Deep lake and Ellis Fjord.
