This dataset represents Weddell Seal haulout and pupping sites in the Vestfold Hills, Antarctica.\nThe data were sourced from a dataset compiled by Samantha Lake and described by the metadata record 'Distribution of Weddell seals pupping at the Vestfold Hills'. She used a reporting grid described by the metadata record 'Weddell seal reporting grid of the Vestfold Hills, Antarctica' to show observations made over 24 years (pupping areas) and 28 years (non-breeding areas). The map Samantha produced of pupping areas is linked to the metadata record 'Distribution of Weddell seals pupping at the Vestfold Hills'. A draft map Samantha produced of non-pupping areas is available from a Related URL below.\n\nPolygons were generated by copying relevant grid rectangles from a digital version of the reporting grid, referring to the maps produced by Samantha; the grid rectangles used were those in which there had been greater than 20 observations (pupping), 17 observations (non-breeding).\nThe data was used in an A3 map of the Vestfold Hills published by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre in October 2001 and which is available from a Related URL below.\n\nThe data are included in the data available for download from a Related URL below.\nThe data conform to the SCAR Feature Catalogue which includes data quality information. See a Related URL below. \nData described by this metadata record has Dataset_id = 155. \nEach feature has a Qinfo number which, when entered at the 'Search datasets & quality' tab, provides data quality information for the feature.
