Dataset abstract Depth of the seabed along the five-minute averaged cruise track (Landwehr et al., 2020; DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3752691) of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) was calculated from the the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO; GEBCO Compilation Group, 2019) 2019 gridded 30-arc second bathymetry data. The nearest gridded value from the bathymetry dataset was used to find the depth at the averaged position. Provided within this dataset is the average position of the vessel during a five-minute time period (where the time given is the middle time of the averaging interval).
