✧ Larsen Ice Shelf ✧

The Larsen Ice Shelf is a long ice shelf in the Weddell Sea, extending along the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is named after Norwegian explorer Carl Anton Larsen, who sailed along the ice front in 1893. Composed of a series of shelves along the coast, named with letters from A to G, since the mid-1990...

#Antarctic ‘greening’ at dramatic rate

#Vegetation cover across the #AntarcticPeninsula has increased more than tenfold over the last four decades, new research shows.

#Antarctic greening at dramatic rate, satellite data show https://phys.org/news/2024-10-antarctic-greening-satellite.html paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01564-5

"Vegetation cover across the #AntarcticPeninsula has increased more than 10-fold over the last four decades... greening trend accelerated by over 30% in recent years... The landscape is still almost entirely dominated by snow, ice and rock, with only a tiny fraction colonized by plant life... But that tiny fraction has grown dramatically"

Polar experiments reveal seasonal cycle in #Antarctic sea ice #algae https://phys.org/news/2023-09-polar-reveal-seasonal-antarctic-sea.html

#Microbial metabolomic responses to changes in temperature and #salinity along the western #AntarcticPeninsula https://www.nature.com/articles/s41396-023-01475-0

"In the frigid waters surrounding #Antarctica, an unusual seasonal cycle occurs. As #seawater freezes it rejects salts, creating pockets of extra-salty #brine where #microbes live in winter. In summer, the sea ice melts, producing warmer, fresher water at the surface."
