Topo50 Antarctic Layers

A structure used for the storage of fluids

Data Dictionary for tank_pnt: apps.linz.govt.nz/topo-data-dictionary/index.aspx?...

This layer is a component of the Topo50 map series. The Topo50 map series provides topographic mapping for New Zealand and it's offshore dependancies, at 1:50,000.
For some small islands the printed map scale is 1:25,000. Although presented at 1:25,000 this layer, for all intents and purposes, forms part of the Topo50 map series.

A ridge, usually of rocks or coral, lying near the surface of the sea, which may be visible at low tide, but is usually covered with water

Polygon for each Topo50 map sheet in the Ross Dependency, Antarctic holding extents of each sheet, it's sheet code, name, edition, and revision statement. This is the same information that is printed on each ANTTopo50 map.

A large, massive piece of floating glacier ice of any shape, detached from the front of a glacier into a body of water; extends more than 5m above sea level.

Ice stream; a current of ice in an ice sheet or ice cap that flows more rapidly than the surrounding ice,usually flowing to the ocean or to an ice shelf and not constrained by exposed rock.

Meltwater_stream; a flow of water that is supplied by melting glacier ice; a "glacial stream" often grayish-white in colour because of the "rock flour"resulting from glacial erosion.
