Progress Code: completed Statement: It was not possible to geo-reference oblique photos to satellite images perfectly. The colony boundaries are less accurate than those derived elsewhere in east Antarctica from vertical aerial photography (eg Vestfolds and Rauers) or ground survey (eg Robinsons). Oblique hand-held photographs were taken of all Adelie penguin breeding colonies at Scullin Monolith from a fixed wing aircraft on 10 December 2010. These photographs were geo-referenced to a Worldview 2 satellite image of both monoliths taken on 26 January 2011 and the colony boundaries in the geo-referenced photos were digitised as shapefiles.
