The dataset consists of image files (JPG) of Lake Tarfala, with the date and time (Swedish summer time, UTC+2) included in each photo.
The pictures were acquired using a camera positioned on the mountain flank along Lake Tarfala’s north-eastern shore, at ~67.9° N, 18.6° E, at 1220 m above sea level.
The data were collected using a SiFar Willfine Trail Camera 4.0CG. The camera elevation is 1.8 m above ground. Each JPG file has a size of ~2.5 MB. The total size of the dataset is ~2.2 GB.
During a few short periods, fog and/or rain obscures the view of the lake. From August 9 onwards, one or more pictures per day are dark because the period of midnight sun came to an end.
Please cite this dataset and the article by Kirchner et al. when using images from this dataset.
