Clearly drawn map of the region with enlarged maps of some of the islands off the northern coast. The main map at 1:1, 500, 000 distinguishes the ice shelf & land mass, & indicates glacial zones. Many bays, islands, capes etc. are named, & latitude & longitude lines are drawn at 2° & 6° intervals respectively. Drawings of a range sea mammals & birds of the region are shown in the margins, & guidance notes for visitors are included, regarding the protection of the environment. On the reverse are larger scale maps of the following areas: Hope Bay, part of the South Shetland Islands group (1:60, 000
- 1:400, 000), the environs of Ambers Island in the Palmer Archipelago (1:500, 000), the environs of Booth Isl&, Pleneau Isl&, Hovgaard Isl&, Peterman Island & the Islas Argentinas off the western coast (1:60, 000). Added interest is provided by the elevation profile diagrams of four cross-sections through the continent, a list of the national scientific stations in Antarctica (with their latitude & longitude), two small maps showing their locations & a map showing the national claims to Antarctic sectors. Much of the text is in Spanish & English, & a glossary of geographic terms is provided in English, French, Spanish & German.
