  • Aeromagnetic datasets are available for surveys over two parts of Adelaide Island- Fuchs ice piedmont at the northern end of the island and a high resolution survey grid to the south (HRAM). Data were acquired using scintrex cesium magnetometers mounted on the BAS aerogeophysical equipped Twin Otter in 2011. Data are provided as XYZ ASCII line data. This study is an output of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Core Programme.

  • This dataset comprises conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) casts which were deployed around Rothera Point, Adelaide Island on the West Antarctic Peninsula between November 2023 and February 2024. Data were captured as part of a biodiversity survey on an area to the north of Rothera Research station. Operations were conducted off small boats and casts sampled shallow waters between 10m and 60m in depth. Data comprises parameters such as pressure, salinity, density, turbidity and more in addition to conductivity, temperature and depth. Data were collected by personnel at BAS, funded by the Antarctic Infrastructure Modernisation Project (AIMP) Runway Project.

  • This record consists of 3 different datasets covering the Adelaide Island and Arrowsmith Peninsula region of Antarctica: contours, spot heights, and lakes. The data have been produced for an updated version of the 'Adelaide Island and Arrowsmith Peninsula' 1:250,000 scale map, produced by the Mapping and Geographic Information Centre, British Antarctic Survey. The data are suitable for a 1:250,000 scale map but may be suitable for larger scales in certain areas. They have been created from source data ranging from 2022 - 2025. The datasets were created using a mixture of GIS software, primarily extracted from high resolution published elevation models, and digitised from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. Exact details of each dataset can be found in the lineage statement. The data is useful for cartographers as well as scientists interested in the mapping of this region. The data is used on the map alongside further data published in v7.11 of the Antarctic Digital Database, November 2025 (coastline: https://doi.org/10.5285/cc0b73c0-3b53-40fb-ae84-b5dce4ac163a and rock outcrop: https://doi.org/10.5285/815525ca-cefe-4fbf-9224-3ee784e7de4e).

  • This dataset comprises video and imagery captured around Rothera Point, Adelaide Island on the West Antarctic Peninsula between November 2023 and February 2024. The data was captured as part of a biodiversity survey on an area to the North of Rothera Research Station. Operations were conducted off small boats and allowed data to be collected in shallow waters between 10 m and 60 m water depth. The dataset includes: seabed imagery captured using a down-facing drop camera, video footage from a Boxfish Luna remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV), timelapse imagery from a camera installed on the Rothera Research station watch tower and video and imagery of a sediment profiler experiment of the seabed. Data were collected by personnel at BAS, funded by the Antarctic Infrastructure Modernisation Project (AIMP) Runway Project.
