Hillshade covering South Georgia at 10m resolution, derived from Reference Elevation Mosaic of Antarctica (REMA) v2.0 10m mosaic dataset. It is a traditional hillshade with a Z factor of 1. The hillshade extent matches the current coastline available via the South Georgia GIS.

Lineage Statement
Using ArcGIS Pro v3.2, a traditional hillshade with a Z factor of 1 was constructed using the the REMA v2.0 10m tile that covers South Georgia. The output was then clipped by the coastline obtained through the South Georgia GIS (https://www.sggis.gov.gs/home/sggis). There were two small areas of no data in the input DEM that were not classified as such. Therefore these areas were set as null in the output hillshade.
