1. Experimental fracture and mechanical properties of Antarctic ice: preliminary results

   An experimental study of the fracture mechanics and rheology of ice from the Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica, is currently being undertaken. The apparent critical stress-intensity factor (or apparent fracture toughness, […]

2. Krill caught by predators and nets: differences between species and techniques

   Samples of Antarctic krill collected from 6 seabird species and Antarctic fur seal during February 1986 at South Georgia were compared to krill from scientific nets fished in the area […]

3. The fish diet of black-browed albatross Diomedea melanophris and grey-headed albatrossD. Chrysostoma at South Georgia

   The fish component of the diet of black browed and grey-headed albatrosses at South Georgia was investigated by intercepting 155 meals from adults arriving to feed chicks during February 1986 […]

4. The diet of Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella during the breeding season at South Georgia

   The diet of lactating female Antarctic fur sealsArctocephalus gazella at South Georgia was investigated during the pup-rearing period (January/March) of 1991–1994. Antarctic krillEuphausia superba was the main prey item, occurring […]

6. Giant sediment drifts on the continental rise west of the Antarctic Peninsula

   Multichannel seismic reflection profiles from the continental rise west of the Antarctic Peninsula between 63° and 69°S show the growth of eight very large mound-shaped sedimentary bodies. MCS profiles and […]

7. Geometry, motion and mass balance of Dyer Plateau, Antarctica

   Geodetic surveying and ground-based radar profiling were used to determine geometry and surface motion of the ice sheet on the Dyer Plateau, Antarctica, in the vicinity of an ice-core site […]

8. Monzonite suites: the innermost Cordilleran plutonism of Patagonia

   In Patagonia a Triassic-Early Jurassic Cordilleran interior magmatic belt preceded the widespread eruption of Middle Jurassic syn-extensional rhyolites. Two plutons (La Calandria and La Leona) represent the easternmost plutonic rocks […]

9. The structure and function of the tarsus I sensillar field in mites of the genusHalarachne(Halarachnidae: Gamasida)

   The sensillar field on tarsus I of Halarachne (Halarachnidae: Gamasida), a respiratory tract endoparasite of seals (Pinnipedia) is associated with 12 hair- or peg-like receptor sensilla in the larva and […]

10. Edaphic oribatid mites (Cryptostigmata: Acarina) associated with an aquatic moss on sub-Antarctic South Georgia

    The moss Drepanocladus uncinatus (Hedw.) Warnst., from coastal freshwater habitats on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia harbours two species of hemi-edaphic oribatid mite namely Edwardzetes elongatus Wallwork (Ceratozetidae) and […]

12. Eukaryotic microbiota in the surface waters and sea ice of the Southern Ocean: aspects of physiology, ecology and biodiversity in a ‘two-phase’ ecosystem

    The Southern Ocean provides a habitat for microplankton which is strongly influenced by physical factors. Of these, one of the most important and striking is the formation of sea ice. […]
