UNCHARTED DANGERS The depth information on this chart have been interpolated from various available information, which in ocean areas is insufficient for an accurate portrayal of the sea bottom. Vessels should navigate with due caution inside the 200 metre contour as uncharted dangers may exist. CURRENTS AND ICE For further information on ocean currents and ice in this area, see Admiralty Sailing Directions and Routeing Charts. ANTARCTIC BASES Manned bases are indicated by building objects with name and/or country abbreviation. These are corrected to 2013. For further information see Sailing Directions. TOPONYMY This chart is produced under the auspices of the International Hydrographic Organisation and is part of a cartographic scheme, which covers the area of application of the Antarctic Treaty. Claims to territorial sovereignty, addressed by Article IV of the Antarctic Treaty, are not depicted on this chart. The Producer Nation has rendered all names in accordance with its own national toponymic practice, and with IHO Specifications and Regulations for International (INT) Charts, and this does not necessarily reflect the practice of other Nations. ANTARCTIC TREATY REGULATED AREA For details of locations within this area to which certain Antarctic Treaty restrictions and regulations apply, see Admiralty Sailing Directions. LAND INFORMATION The coastline, height contours, names and Antarctic bases are provided from The SCAR Antarctic Digital Database (add.scar.org). MAGNETIC VARIATION Approaching the South Magnetic Pole the annual change to the magnetic variation is large (generally greater than 30' [E or W as applicable]), and increases rapidly towards the pole.
