This dataset provides the high-resolution bathymetry model for the Kerguelen Plateau, called the kerg100 grid. The ~100 metre-resolution gridded bathymetry dataset covers an area of about 736,000 km2, which also includes the land elevation coverage for Heard Island and McDonald Island, and Kerguelen Island. This page provides the data in a range of formats for public download.
