GPS fixes for foraging Southern Giant Petrels (Macronectes giganteus) breeding in Nelson Island, Maritime Antarctic Peninsula, 2021 to 2023

<p>This dataseta contain tracking data of &nbsp;breeding Southern Giant Petrels (<em>Macronectes giganteus</em>) collected from december to february in Harmony Point (Nelson Island, South Shetland Islands) in 2021/22 and 2022/23 breeding seasons.&nbsp;Cat-Log 2 (Perthold Engineering) and Sputnik (Sextant Technology) devices were used, consisting of 5-minute interval GPS fixes (a few animals had 10 minutes fixes, they are easy to spot by checking data). Capture and deployment followed protocols evaluated by ethical commitees of Universidad&nbsp;de Magallanes and Instituto Mil&eacute;nio of Biodiversity of Antarctic and Subantarctic Ecosystems (BASE), with environmental permits&nbsp;emmited by Instituto Ant&aacute;rtico Chileno.</p> <p>Two files are available: one on .csv format, and another one in .Rds that can be opened in R maintaining data carachteristics, for instance, date (TS column) is in a POSIXct timpestamp format, and it is maintained within the file. Each animal was ringed with stainless steel rings; ring numbers&nbsp;correspond&nbsp;to the BirdId column.</p> <p>Production of this dataset was&nbsp;supported by the Instituto Ant&aacute;rtico Chileno, Programa &Aacute;reas Marinas Protegidas (AMP 24 03 052), ANID &ndash; Programa Iniciativa Milenio &ndash; ICN2021_002 (BASE).</p>
