Aerial Adelie Penguin Colony Images: Scanned Negatives and Digital Photographs of Ross Island and Victoria Land Colonies, Antarctica, 1981-Present
Raw images (over approximately 20.000 unique images) collected during the Adelie Penguin Census across 30+ colonies since 1981 (see associated metadata resource for list full list of colonies). Photographs were taken using a black and white film camera from 1981 to 2004 (inclusive) and 2008. Images are available in .tif fomrat. Images are digital from 2005 onwards (except 2008). Raw images are available in cr2/cr3 formats, and processed images are available across tif and jpg formats. High resolution scanning was initiated in 2011 to scan all the negatives in the collection. There are approximately 10,000 negatives in the collection. Images are taken from helicopter at between 2000-2500 feet.
All images collected during the 2324 season are georeferenced with latitude and longitude positions in decimal degrees (WGS 84).
