Full description
A spatial dataset (polygons digitised from aerial photography) showing locations of penguin colonies at southern Vincennes Bay, Antarctica.Aerial photography was taken with a Zeiss UMK 1318 camera on 2-Dec-1993. The images show penguin colonies at Vincennes Bay (Cape Nutt, Hudson Island, Ivanoff Head, Davis Islands, Mallory Point).
1. Images were scanned (Microtek Scanmaker 4900, Resolution: 4800x2400 dpi) to create tiff files.

2. The penguin colonies were traced on screen
3. The images were georeferenced in ArcGIS using the Australian Antarctic Territory coastline 2003 created by Geoscience Australia (see metadata record "AAT_Coastline_2003"). The tiff images with a related world file were saved.
4. Penguin colonies were digitised in ArcMap 8.3. by Nicole Seiler.
5. The penguin colony data was matched to the Feature Catalogue and given a dataset id of 243. The absolute accuracy is approximately 500m.
