This image dataset provides photographs of Antarctic deep-water sponges (Demospongiae and Hexactinellida) shortly after collection for microbiome study during expeditions PS96 (RV Polarstern, 2015/16) and JR17003a (RRS James Clark Ross, 2018) in the Weddell Sea. Image files are labeled with expedition, station, sample ID, and SMF collection number. Subsamples of all sponges have been archived in the Senckenberg Museum's collection, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
