Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No. 143 Marine Plain in East Antarctica contains the fragile Sørsdal Formation, which preserves a unique Pliocene fossil record. This dataset provides geological mapping and analysis to assess human impact risks, including recommended helicopter landing zones derived from a 1:2000 scale surficial geology map of the Vestfold Hills region. The work demonstrates how foundational geospatial data can support evidence-based management of protected areas in Antarctica.
The dataset appears to be documentation (PDF/HTML) presenting analysis and recommendations, not raw geospatial data files. Access to the ASPA is subject to strict permitting conditions.
