[OSM-talk] British Antarctic Territories

[Julio Costa Zambelli]

Dear Andy,

A _relatively_ unmapped area. The Villa Las Estrellas (Post Office, School,
Library, Hospital, Bank, the Russian Ortodox Church, etc.), the Base
Presidente Eduardo Frei Montalva, and the Aeródromo Teniente Rodolfo Marsh
(runway, apron, and VOR beacon), all in the Isla Rey Jorge (King George
Island) have been mapped for a couple of years (Jul/2009):

Also the user "Blazejos" has been mapping the Arctowski (Polish) Base for
some time:
