Fur Seal (Arctocephalus gazella) diet has been monitored at the King Edward Point research station on South Georgia since 2008. Scats are collected regularly and krill carapaces, fish otoliths and squid beaks extracted. Krill length is calculated from the extracted carapaces whilst squid beaks and fish otoliths are measured and identified to species where possible. This dataset comprises raw and processed krill length as well as squid beak and otolith measurements and identification to species where appropriate.

Aerial survey using a thermal sensor of the Grytviken / King Edward Point fur seal colony during the 2022/23 season conducted using a RPAS (remotely piloted aerial system). The aerial survey was conducted as part of the Darwin Plus (DPLUS) 109 project: Initiating Monitoring Support for the Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area (SGSSI-MPA) Research and Monitoring Plan for the purpose of establishing a baseline population estimate of key indicator species around South Georgia. Dataset includes the original images and log files, the original RINEX GNSS (global navigation satellite system) base station files, the post-processed GNSS and imagery data, along with the resulting georeferenced DSM (digital surface model) and an orthorectified mosaic of the imagery. This dataset is from flight number DPLUS_109_45 which was carried out on 2022-11-15. This work was supported by the Overseas Territories Environment and Climate Fund under Grant Darwin Plus ref: DPLUS109: Initiating monitoring support for the SGSSI-MPA Research and Monitoring Plan. Funding for this work was also received from the UK Blue Belt fund through GSGSSI.

British Antarctic Survey ozone data consist of observations made at the following stations: Halley, Antarctica, from 1956; Faraday, Antarctica, from 1964 (Faraday/Vernadsky from 1996); King Edward Point, South Georgia, from 1971 (until 1982); Rothera, Antarctica, from 1996. Observations at all stations are recorded in UTC. All observations at Halley and Vernadsky are made with the Dobson ozone spectrophotometer and are seasonal (Apr to Aug). Datasets include daily mean and monthly ozone values. Observations for ozone and nitrogen dioxide are made at Rothera using the SAOZ instrument, which can make observations throughout the year. There is also a Bentham spectro-radiometer at Rothera, which can be used to compute ozone levels. Full metadata on collection, instrumentation and calibration are available on the BAS ozone webpages.

This dataset contains ringing data of snowy sheathbills (Chionis albus) captured, ringed and released on Bird Island, South Georgia from September 2024 to September 2025, as well as subsequent resightings of birds throughout the year. Ringing data includes summary morphometrics including size and weight measurements. Resightings were made on an ad-hoc basis but represent high effort throughout the year. Data were collected as part of an initial study of sheathbills at Bird Island, aiming to discern population structure, comparative morphometrics with Antarctic birds, and for sexing via discriminant functions. Data were collected by Bird Island Zoological Field Assistants. Funded as part of the BAS Bird Island Long-term Monitoring Programme.
