| Data Summary | Topography at a scale of 1:5,000 covering Ongul Islands including Showa base was made four sheets for the base construction and management and observation between 1965 and 1987. Topography at a scale of 1:25,000 covering Lutzow-Holm Bay, the exposed rock area facing the Prince Olav Coast, and the Yamato Mountains was prepared between 1965 and 1987. A topographic map at a scale of 1:50,000 covering most of the Sor Rondane Mountains was prepared in 1992. A small-scale 1:250,000 map was published in 1963 and it was revised in 1990. The topographic map prepared in 1970 at a scale of 1:1,000,000 was the only map that covered the fan-like area located between 30E and 45E East longitude. In 1997, a map covering Eastern Queen Maud Land was prepared in accordance with the international standard mapping rules for Antarctica and rules for mapping at a scale of 1:1,000,000. It was published in 1998 with the name changed to Eastern Dronning Maud Land in addition to partially revised contents. |
