VICTORIA is an on-line information system on the lichens of Victoria Land (Continental Antarctica). It provides descriptions and pictures of taxa, as well as nomenclatural, taxonomic, distributional and ecological data. Moreover, VICTORIA offers two interactive identification tools, dichotomous and multi-criteria keys, to the species. Friendly interfaces, optimized hierarchy of characters and multi-criteria filters based on easy-to-observe characters facilitate the identification process. At present VICTORIA provides information on 57 species occurring in the Terra Nova Bay area.
