This dataset comprises Argos PTT data for Adelie penguins, Pygoscelid adeliae, at Signy, Powell and Laurie Islands, part of the South Orkney Islands, between December and January 1999-2014. Tags were deployed across the South Orkney Islands (Signy Island, Powell Island and Laurie Island) between December and January (austral summer). The tracking data encompasses the breeding and post-breeding migratory dispersal of chinstrap penguins. The data includes coordinates for satellite uplinks for each tag and respective trip, along with error values for each satellite uplink. Metadata includes additional information about nesting and morphology, when available. PTT tags were deployed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS) personnel and supported by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding and WWF grant GB095701

This dataset comprises Platform Terminal Transmitter (PTT) data for chinstrap penguins at Signy, Laurie and Monroe Islands, part of the South Orkney Islands, between December and February 2000-2016 (austral summer). The tracking data encompasses the breeding and post-breeding migratory dispersal of chinstrap penguins. The data includes coordinates for satellite uplinks for each tag and respective trip, along with error values for each satellite uplink. Metadata includes additional information about nesting and morphology, when available. PTT tags were deployed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS) personnel supported by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding, WWF Grant (GB095701), Darwin Plus grant DPLUS054 and CCAMLR special fund.

This dataset comprises Time-Depth Recorder (TDR) tracks of chinstrap penguins, Pygoscelid antarcticus, at the South Orkney Islands (Signy, Monroe, Powell and Laurie Island) from 2011 to 2019. Chinstrap penguins were fitted with TDR tags between December to January (austral summer) to better understand their movement for seabird conservation and management. The data includes temperature and pressure at specified intervals for deployed tags, with additional metadata on the morphology of the birds, their deployment, and breeding. Work was carried out by personnel at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to BAS. This is an updated version of a previous dataset. There have been additional tracks included with further quality control carried out.

This dataset comprises Global Positioning System (GPS) data for chinstrap penguins, Pygoscelid antarcticus, at the South Orkney Islands (Signy, Monroe, Powell and Laurie island) from 2011 to 2019. Chinstrap penguins were fitted with GPS tags between December to January (austral summer) to better understand their movement for seabird conservation and management. The data includes GPS positions at specified intervals for deployed tags, with additional metadata on the morphology of the birds, their deployment, and breeding. Work was carried out by personnel at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to BAS. This is an updated version of a previous dataset. There have been additional tracks included with further quality control carried out.
