GPS tracks of Adelie penguins at Signy Island, South Orkneys Islands, 2011-2016

This dataset comprises Global Positioning System (GPS) data for Adelie penguins, Pygoscelid adeliae, at Signy Island, South Orkneys Islands, from December 2011 to January 2016 (austral summer). Adelie penguins were fitted with GPS tags at Signy Island to better understand their movement for seabird conservation and management. This 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.
