I wanted to add some cautionary advice here.
Mapping in the Antarctic in OSM is to a much larger part than on other
continents fueled by 'imagined' things. I am not talking about stuff here
individually made up by mappers but more institutionally conjured ideas,
projections and to some extent
Considering that requiring local surveys in Antarctica would lead to
an empty map and that assuming that governments are always lying would
prevent us from importing government data, to me it seems relatively
safe to assume that something exists if it has visible traces in
imagery and multiple diff

I think it would be better to adjust it to the emerging consensus, but

That is exactly one of the points i was trying to make. You can try to create
a better map from map styles that are not only not optimized f

This is probably best discussed in changeset comments, but I'm curious
why they would be

Very well. What is a minimum requirement for a sparsely populated island
with unpaved streets and roads to get its first highway=tertiary? A pair of
hamlets? A single large town? How large?

Hi all,
In the steel industry, a process which has started gaining adoption in
recent years is the production of steel from Direct Reduced Iron (DRI),
rather than from pig iron produced from iron ore in a blast furnace.
To give context, the two existing widespread methods of steel production
are:

About King George Island, if I am not wrong, the normal people can not reach
the island from any ferry neither commercial flights from the rest of the
world. You can only reach the island using a cargo aircraft.
Inside the island you can not drive a motor vehicle, in the best case only can

Hi Daniel !
The third seems to me the best solution if there isn't already a tag. This
will allow you to add information rather than modify existing ones.
I'd like to point out that there's also another way of tagging steel mills:
man_made=works + product=steel wich is way more common (260 times
The problem is 'tagging for the render', people see this large blank
area and cannot see what they are looking for because the render will
not show such a low importance feature.
This also occurs in other areas where there is sparse populations. The
people who make and maintain renders occupy
