Coastline Data - Ronne Ice Shelf

Hey Folks,

Some scientists I work with have commented that the coastline around
Antarctica (South Pole), that I draw with NCAR Graphics, includes the
Ronne ice shelf as part of that coastline. They were suggesting that this
was probably a mistake, and wanted to know if I had a coastline map
that did not include the Ronne ice shelf.

Has anyone else been questioned about this ??

Is there a way to omit the Ronne ice shelf from the NCAR Graphics
coastline map drawing ?? When I examined the control labels for the
area around Antarctica, I saw no reference to it in the EZmap area
identifiers. Just references to islands around Antarctica.

Also, what was the source for the NCAR Graphic's coastline map ??

Thanx all !
Jeff
