In this study pore-water constituents from three sampling locations in permanently cold sediments north of South Georgia island have been investigated. The three gravity cores from Cumberland Bay (GeoB22043-1), Royal Trough (GeoB22039-2) and Church Trough (GeoB22032-1) were sampled during the RV METEOR cruise M134 in 2017. The dataset contains measurements of pore-water constituents such as sulfate, sulfide, dissolved iron, dissolved inorganic carbon and dissolved manganese profiles which are relevant to microbial community composition in the sediments.
