Lake depth data (all data except Ellis Fjord) was collected from echo sounding records of courses plotted on enlarged aerial photographs (HighJump photography). Courses were straight lines from shoreline features identified on both the photographs and in the field. Depths were plotted on the enlarged photographs and contours drawn between marked depths. Accuracy for position -+ 5 metres. Accuracy for depth -+ 2 metres. Ellis Fjord was sounded in winter from the ice surface. Painted 44 gallon drums were set up on hills on both sides of the fjord. When a depth position was recorded by weighted line through an ice hole, a theodolite (T2) at the hole was sited to several drums on the land. These triangulations were used to determine the position of the depth in the fjord. Accuracy for position -+ 2cm. Accuracy for depth -+ 2 metres. The water bodies included in the dataset are: Ace Lake Burton Lake Club Lake Deep Lake Ellis Fjord Lake Abraxas Lake Anderson Lake Jabs Lake Lebed Lake Nicholson Lake Stinear Lake Watts Oblong Lake Organic Lake See also the following maps at the provided links: Map 15618: Deep Lake Marine Profile - Plan and Longitudinal section (Sheet 2 of 2) Map 15621: Club Lake Marine Profile – Plan and Longitudinal Section (Sheet 1 of 2) Map 15622: Lake Jabs, Saline Lake Profiles – Plan and Longitudinal Sections {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[78.08, -68.64], [78.29, -68.64], [78.29, -68.45], [78.08, -68.45], [78.08, -68.64]]]} 78.08 78.29 -68.64 -68.45 AMD AMD/AU ANTARCTICA Ace Lake BATHYMETRY Burton Lake CEOS CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA > Vestfold Hills Club Lake Deep Lake EARTH SCIENCE > TERRESTRIAL HYDROSPHERE > SURFACE WATER > SURFACE WATER FEATURES > LAKES/RESERVOIRS ECHO SOUNDERS Ellis Fjord GEOGRAPHIC REGION > POLAR GROUND-BASED OBSERVATIONS LAKES Lake Abraxas Lake Anderson Lake Jabs Lake Lebed Lake Nicholson Lake Stinear Lake Watts Oblong Lake Organic Lake VESTFOLD HILLS GET DATA > DIRECT DOWNLOAD documentDigital Download Vestfold Hills lake bathymetry GIS data.
