Dataset abstract

A HYDRINS Inertial Navigation System (INS) was installed on the R/V Akademik Tryoshnikov during the austral summer of 2016/2017 as it circumnavigated Antarctica as part of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).

This dataset is uncorrected and as-was recorded and covers the period from November 2016 – April 2017. Data files are provided in text format which can be used in many software packages. Heading, attitude, position and speed data are provided.

This dataset can be used alongside, for example, mulitbeam survey data and to give high positional accuracy.
