These represent the speed filtered GPS datasets for individual Adelie penguins instrumented between November 2018 and February 2019 at Kopiaitic Island approximately 500m offshore from the Chilean Bernardo O'Higgins Antarctic Base on the western Antarctic Peninsula. They are stored as trip objects within standard .RData Workspaces. The objects are unprojected, but adhere to the CRS projection " +proj=lonlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84" Individuals were also instrumented with dive loggers and accelerometer / magnetometer tags, and a subset were also instrumented with HD video cameras. These additional datasets will be published that are linked by unique animal #ID and deployment round number.
