Description

This layer shows active Polar Bases in the Arctic and the Antarctic polar regions.

This Map Layer is a Vector Layer composed of Points and Labels, so the Style for each of these can be changed as desired by opening the 'Layers Menu', clicking the wanted layer on the left, then clicking the relevant panel controls on the right.

As a guide to what the map-labels refer to, here are some helpful tables:
