[OSM-talk] British Antarctic Territories

[Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists)]

An unmapped area in OSM currently is the Antarctic Peninsular south of
Argentina. Thanks to the National Library of Australia I have a number of
mostly out of copyright (or nearly so) British Ordnance Survey Maps for the
British Antarctic Territories . The full list of them can be found here:

An example for Deception Island:

If anyone is interested in this area let me know and I'll include getting
the maps scanned when I'm done others.

Most of the maps will have limited positional accuracy because the surveying
was mostly done by various Antarctic survey traverses, they do however have
plenty of place/natural feature names that will be useful. Place Names
should be those as agreed by the Antarctic Place-names Committee (APC).

Cheers
Andy
