Survey of Elephant Seals at Atlas Cove, Heard Island, December 2008

Stereoscopic images of elephant seals at Atlas Cove, taken at Heard Island on 16-17 December 2008.

The Aurora Australis made a brief visit to Heard and McDonald Islands in mid-December 2008. The visit was opportunistic owing to an opening in the ship's schedule.

During the visit a number of quick surveys were undertaken, primarily assisted by helicopters.

This dataset consists of stereographic images taken by two photographers from ground level during a survey of Elephant Seal colonies at Atlas Cove. There are two folders of data, one for each photographer. Each folder contains a shot list of the photos (in an excel spreadsheet), plus the photos themselves.
