# Summary

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->
Image classification dataset with biotope labels extracted from [Meyer et al., 2022](https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.949920?format=html#download). 

Images were extracted from six remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dives during two SponGES cruises conducted in the summers of 2017 and 2018. The ROV dives were performed by Ægir 6000 and the cruises were conducted on the RV G.O. Sars. The ROV dives traversed across various regions on the seamount, from the base of the seamount at 2700 m depth to the summit at 580 m depth. 600 images were selected and annotated from the dives where all megafauna >1 cm were documented in the imagery.
