SciTechDaily · Cold Case: Scientific Sleuths Solve the Case of the Mysterious Giant Opening in Antarctic Sea IceResearchers have discovered the missing piece of the puzzle behind a rare opening in the sea ice around Antarctica, that occurred during the winters of 2016 and 2017. It reveals a key process that had eluded scientists as to how the opening, called a polynya, was able to form and persist for several

in the relatively short amount of time that’s left between now and 2030,” says Bransome.
The three proposed areas — in #EastAntarctic, the #WeddellSea and the #AntarcticPeninsula — would not just help krill but conserve habitat and protect biodiversity for a huge range of the region’s species.
“Adélie and chinstrap #penguins get almost all of their calories from krill,” says Bransome. “Other predators that would benefit include #CrabeaterSeals, #FurSeals, #GentooPenguins, and #whales,
