The Belgica 121 expedition to the Western Antarctic Peninsula: a high resolution biodiversity census

Antarctic OBIS Open in mapper Explore occurrences

This dataset pertains to the outputs of the Belgica 121 (B121) expedition, which aim was to explore the surroundings of the Gerlache Strait (Western Antarctic Peninsula) and to carry out a detailed biodiversity census focusing on intertidal and shallow areas using both classic descriptive marine ecology methods as well as state-of- the art techniques (habitat mapping, genetics, trophic ecology). This dataset will offer access to the raw data on biodiversity occurrences, obtained using a range of methods.
