A polar data-base system by means of HITAC M-160 II computer has been constructed at the National Institute of Polar Research. The system consists of three kinds of data; data obtained by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition, digital world map data including Antarctic maps and Antarctic bibliography data. Users can easily combine the two kinds of these data by the use of Fortran language. Some examples of combination are shown.
