Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analyses were performed on modern and Holocene Adélie penguin guano samples collected from ornithogenic soils along the Scott Coast (Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica), from Cape Irizar to Dunlop Island, and at Cape Bird (Ross Island). Guano samples also were siev...
