Sou wanted the entire quote out there; seems like they are successful..."We came to Antarctica to study how one of the biggest icebergs in the world has altered the system by trapping ice" ICE-STRANDED EXPLORERS' MESSAGE: A statement from the Australasian Antarctic Expedition: We're stuck in our own experiment. We came to Antarctica to study how one of the biggest icebergs in the world has altered the system by trapping ice. We followed Sir Douglas Mawson's footsteps into Commonwealth Bay, and are now ourselves trapped by ice surrounding our ship. *Sea ice is disappearing due to climate change, but here ice is building up. We have found this has changed the system on many levels. The increase in sea ice has freshened the seawater below*, so much so that you can almost drink it. This change will have impacts on the deep ocean circulation. Underwater, forests of algae are dying as sea-ice blocks the light. Who can say what effects the regional circulation changes may have on the ice sheet of the Antarctic plateau, or whether the low number of seals suggests changes to their population. blog.hotwhopper.com
