Areas of seabed within the 500 m isobath around Elephant Island (CCAMLR Statistical Subarea 48.1)

Areas of seabed within 50m depth contours down to 100m and within 100m depth contours from 100 to 500m have been estimated from soundings obtained during plankton and bottom trawl surveys around Elephant Island (the northernmost island of the South Shetland Islands) from 1977/78 to 1992/93. The results are presented on a fine scale grid of 15’ lat x 30’ long.
