Two-chart lantern slide of the BANZARE voyages and Antarctic coastal surveys, 1929–1931. Museums Victoria item MM 112743, attributed to Douglas Mawson and associated with the Royal Geographical Society’s August 1932 chart. This is a separate lantern-slide reproduction, not the AADC paper-map scan.

The physical lantern slide is not the paper sheet held/cataloged by AADC. No inference about modern hidden-land claims. AADC original scan rights remain unresolved.
