Hi,

There is a problem with xlim and ylim.

map("worldHires","Antarctica",xlim=c(-180,180),ylim=c(-90,-60),col="gray90",fill=TRUE)


You also might have a look at "ggplot2"

library(ggplot2)
world <- map_data("world")
worldmap <- ggplot(world, aes(x=long, y=lat, group=group)) +
  geom_path() +
  scale_y_continuous(breaks=(-2:2) * 30) +
  scale_x_continuous(breaks=(-4:4) * 45)

worldmap + coord_map("ortho", orientation=c(-90, 0, 0))

Regards,
Pascal

Hey, I'm new with R and I'm attempting to map and then plot points on a map
of Antarctica with help from some code at the following link.  Link

After downloading the packages here is the code I used. I feel like the
problem has to do with the coordinates since I get a very small image that
appears to be only a small portion of the continent (I want the whole
thing). Thanks in advance!

library(maps)
library(mapdata)
map("worldHires","Antarctica",xlim=c(-90,-60),ylim=c(-180,180),col="gray90",fill=TRUE)
