Alexander Island, Antarctic Peninsula (1:500 000 scale). BAS GEOMAP 2 Series, sheet 8, British Antarctic
Survey, Cambridge, UK.
Abstract:
This is one side of a double-sided map. This geological map covers Alexander, Rothschild, Charcot and Latady
islands, as well as Wilkins, Bach and George VI ice shelves.
The map summarises decades of research in the region and displays interpretations of key geological units,
showing both exposed geology and inferred geology under ice or snow. A geological cross section from Brahms
Inlet to Two Step Cliffs is presented in the top left corner of the page. A detailed legend and reference
list is included next to the main map.
Purpose:
This is one side of a double-sided map. This geological map covers the Alexander Island region at 1:500 000
scale.
