Deception (Crater Lake and Fumarole) and Livingtons (Hanna Point) Metagenomics Samples. Deception and Livingtons Metagenomics Samples

Sediment samples were collected on the Deception and Livingston islands in the South Shetland archipelago (Maritime Antarctica) in the 2017/2018 summer. On Deception Island, sediment samples were collected near Crater Lake (CRL) (62°, 58', 52.0''S, 60°, 39', 62.9'' W), in triplicate. In Fumarole Bay area (FU) (62°, 58', 02.5''S, 60°, 42', 35.6'' W), samples were collected in duplicate from two sites in a transect: FU1 at 15 m far from the fumarole and FU2 at 12 m far from the fumarole. On Livingston island, samples were collected in triplicate in the Hannah Point region (HP) (62°, 38´, 49.1” S, 60° 36´ 11.0 W) from three sites (HP1, HP2 and HP3), along a transect of 27 m from inland towards the beach, being HP1 the furthest site and HP3 the closest site to the beach.
