These datasets are: 1) Raw (MS Access) IFAW Logger2010 tables (http://www.marineconservationresearch.co.uk/downloads/logger-2000-rainbowclick-software-downloads/) and 2) .RData objects preprocessed by the R package LoggeR (https://github.com/embiuw/LoggeR), for distance sampling of marine mammals and seabirds from two ships of opportunity along the Western Antarctic Peninsula, Drake Passage and Scotia Sea during the 2018 - 2019 austral summer. The ships were the MS Fram and MS Midnatsol of the Hurtigruten fleet, with data collected from the start of December 2019 until late January 2020.
