The datasets present measurements of cDOM absorption of lakes located in Antarctic oasis during the summer periods from 2013 to 2016. In summer season of 2013 water samples were collected on Fildes Peninsula (King George Island, West Antarctica) - Bellingshausen Station, Russia. Investigated lakes on Fides Peninsula were completely or partly free from ice cover during water sampling. In summer seasons of 2014-2016 water samples were collected on Vestfold Hills, Reuer Island and Larsemann Hills Oasis (East Antarctica) - Progress station, Russia. During 2014-2016 summer season part of lakes on Larsemann Hills Oasis were free from ice cover, some of the lakes were completely covered by ice and were drilled before sampling. Part of the water samples from Progress Station (2015) has not been filtered. cDOM is operationally defined by the chosen filter pore size. Samples have been consistently filtrated through 0.7 µm pore size glas fibre filters. cDOM filtrates have been stored in darkness and have been measured ...
