Rothera wildlife sightings 1998 to 2021

Since 1998, station personnel have been recording the wildlife they've observed whilst living and working at Rothera Research Station, Antarctica, as part of the Rothera Time-Series (RaTS) project. Originally, this consisted of a daily count of animals seen recorded in a logbook. More recently, dedicated wildlife survey recording sheets have been made available. The handwritten raw data were then collated and input into a spreadsheet, creating a database of wildlife sightings. Funding source: These data have been collected by British Antarctic Survey (BAS) personnel as part of an on-going long-term monitoring programme supported by NERC core funding.
