In summary, this study provides us with a detailed image of the lower crust beneath an extensional basin located within a large-scale continental rift zone. Assuming that the original crustal thickness beneath the Ross S

From three seasonal investigations, it is clear that the marginal ice zone is an important habitat for E. superba. The pack ice serves as a nursery ground for larval and juvenile krill and offers protection from predator
