The ice-free area around Ablation Point (70° 49′ S, 68° 25′ W) is of particular limnological interest. Numerous ponds and pools lie on coastal moraines and large, permanently ice-covered lakes […]
A review is presented of studies, including recent work by members of the British Antarctic Survey, on the primary productivity of plankton, ice-flora and benthos in both marine and freshwater […]
The composition of the terrestrial Antarctic flora and fauna and the distribution patterns of a number of species and of the principal vegetation types is now reasonably well established, at […]
Geological field work in Antarctica and the off-lying islands during the past two decades has contributed materially to the establishment of the stratigraphical succession in both East and West Antarctica. […]
(1) The source and availability of nutrients to the predominantly non-vascular cryptogam vegetation of Signy Island. South Orkney Islands, in the maritime Antarctic, are briefly discussed. (2) The concentrations of […]
Philine gibba is redescribed using large samples collected from the original type locality (South Georgia, South Atlantic). The specimens examined are compatible with all but one previous description which differs […]
Stresses occur in the uppermost 10 m of a glacier as a result of temperature fluctuations at the surface. A model is set up of a typical year’s surface temperature […]
Two species of aquatic moss (Calliergon sarmentosum and Drepanocladus sp.) occur in deep water in Moss Lake, Signy Island (60° 43′S, 45° 38′W). Their elongate stems support a structurally complex […]
Quantative population data for shallow Antarctic soft-bottom communities in King Edward Cove, South Georgia indicate that although once grossly polluted by organic effluent and fuel oil from a whaling station, […]
