Welcome to the British Antarctic Survey web map services user guide

At British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and within the Mapping and Geographic Information Centre (MAGIC) a series of web map services are hosted and developed for sharing and visualising geospatial data.

These map visualisation sites include:

• Antarctic Digital Database (ADD): http://www.add.scar.org/
• South Georgia GIS : http://www.sggis.gov.gs/
• Antarctic Peninsula Information Portal (APIP) : http://www.add.scar.org/home/apip
• Antarctic Place-names Committee : http://apc.antarctica.ac.uk/

Each map visualisation provides various tools and features to explore the geospatial data available and this guide provides an in-depth explanation of the various features available on all webmaps.
