Abstract:
Topographic features surveyed by GPS during the Australian Antarctic Program's 2000/01 expedition on Heard Island. Point data includes the location of volcanic cones, graves, landing areas, automatic weather stations, refuges, summits, boulders, named features and trig points. Line data include lava edges and a walking track.

The volcanic cone, grave, helicopter landing area, automatic weather station and refuge locations are available in shapefiles and have a Qinfo value of 578. The shapefiles have been formatted according to the SCAR Feature Catalogue.
