Triplicate sediment samples were collected on SCUBA from 3 sites near Scott Base (SB1, SB2, SB3), 2 sites near McMurdo Station (MM-0, MM-1), 1 site at Cape Armitage (CA), 1 site at Cape Evans (CE) and 1 site near Turtle Rock.

The top 3 cm of sediment was collected from depths between 18 and 25 m, within a 20 metre radius of each site and stored frozen. Samples were later freeze dried, coarse sieved and the 0-1 cm fraction ground. Each sample was digested by sonication for 2 hours in 0.5 M HCl/methanol and centrifuged at 2000g. A subsample of the supernatent was ethylated using sodium tetraethylborate and captured on traps filled with Tenax®. The ethylated butyltin species was thermally desorbed from the Tenax® and analysed using quartz furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.
