Microplastic concentration and composition in subsurface waters of the Weddell Sea, Antarctica

The dataset provides information about the microplastic contamination in subsurface water samples pumped from a depth of ∼11.2 m in the Weddell Sea, Antarctica. Samples (n = 79) were collected between the latitudes 52°S and 71°S, during expedition PS117 (2018/2019) on RV Polarstern. Samples were col...
