Projection Parameters Lambert Conformal Conic / Polar Stereographic following IMW
For areas between 60°S and 80°S use the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection with the parameters given in Table 1 below.
For areas South of 80° S use the Polar Stereographic projection with the parameters given in Table 2 below.
You can find out the IMW sheet number on the IMW tiles overview for Antarctica. [image source: Sievers and Bennat, 1989.].
