Full description

Results from a February 2007 survey of the Vestfold Hills coastline and offshore islands for used and disused southern elephant seal wallows.

Polygons of moult haul out areas for male southern elephant seals in the Vestfold Hills. Polygons are based on point location data collected during a February 2007 survey of the coastline and offshore islands
The table below gives the coordinates (decimal degrees) for the locations found, their unofficial names and the area status, whether as used or disused at the time of survey.

Data were used in the 2018 Vestfold Hills/Davis Station Helicopter map:

Area name Latitude Longitude Status
Hawker Island -68.637360 77.840040 Used
Hawker Island -68.634950 77.841310 Used

Heidemann Bay -68.592067 77.945325 Used
Black Bluff -68.571916 77.971011 Used

Point data were supplemented with polygon/shape files to define the limits of each haul out area where possible. This was done using on ground experience combined with digital mapping techniques

Lineage

Progress Code: completed
Statement: Point locations were collected with hand-held Garmin GPS. Polygons were drawn with better than 2 m accuracy.
