During the deglaciation, surface water productivity increased with decreasing nutrient utilization, implying that the increase is associated with increased nutrient supply from the subsurface water by enhancing Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) influence as fronts migrate southward with warming.

However, it’s when you take the time to look out the window or walk on deck that you’re truly reminded of your location by the sprawling ocean, the light sprinkling of snow and the petrels trailing the ships wake. Bester, Marthán N. Bornemann, Horst There is no other place to be more grateful for this fact, perhaps than the crossing from Elephant Island to South Georgia.

The bulk of the crew survived there for four months while Ernest Shackleton and five others launched a small boat and crossed the perilous Drake Passage in search of help from the inhabitants of the distant South Georgia Island. We run our samples 24 hours a day and I’m on the night shift which means I work 12-midnight to mid-day. Visiting the Southern Ocean on the pursuit of understanding its dynamics and its capacity to buffer our world against climate change is an important task and the journey is still an adventure today. Postma, Martin This blog is about her trip and the team’s first glimpse of the land in the Antarctic Region…. Muelbert, M. M. C. They land on the sheer, rocky face of Elephant Island, a tiny, rugged island in the Southern Ocean. Our results indicate that the sedimentary processes in the Scotia Sea largely depend on the regional interactions between the ocean and the cryosphere.
The voyage of the James Caird was a journey of 1,300 kilometres (800 mi) from Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands through the Southern Ocean to South Georgia, undertaken by Sir Ernest Shackleton and five companions to obtain rescue for the main body of the stranded Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914–1917. This is by no means unusual, and by looking at a map you can see that this is one of the most exposed pieces of land in the Southern Ocean.

J. Nico The weather conditions are extreme and the region remains isolated, however technology and the incoming of the Southern Ocean summer make it somewhat less treacherous.

Deglacial productivity increase is due to increased nutrient supply as sea ice retreats. and The following 79 files are in this category, out of 79 total. Southern elephant seals Mirounga leonina within the Kerguelen province disperse between Marion Island (MI), Iles Crozet (IC) and Iles Kerguelen (IK) despite the high site fidelity characteristic of this species. 2015.

From 1987–2002, 199 IC individuals, or 11.63% of the tagged population there, were resighted at MI. Gaspar, P Abundant occurrence of grains >1 mm during the deglacial period indicates rapid ice sheet retreat with large-scale melting and calving. Equal numbers of male and female seals (all age classes) were dispersing. While their navigation across these waters was made with just three sightings with a sextant and a boatload of … From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository, Isla Elefante (es); Elefánt-sziget (hu); Elefante uhartea (eu); Остров Мордвинова (ru); Elephant Island (de-ch); Elephant Island (de); Elephant Island (en-gb); Елефант (остров) (bg); Oaljefanteilân (fy); სპილოს კუნძული (ka); エレファント島 (ja); Elefantön (sv); אי הפיל (he); Elefanttisaari (fi); Elefant-insulo (eo); Sloní ostrov (cs); isola Elephant (it); île de l'Éléphant (fr); Ilha Elefante (pt); Elpendīeg (ang); Elefanta (lv); Elefantøya (nn); 엘리펀트섬 (ko); 象岛 (南极洲) (zh); Elephant Island (en); Ilha Elefante (pt-br); illa Elefant (ca); Elephant Island (ceb); Elephant Island (pl); Elefantøya (nb); Fil adası (az); Elephant Island (da); Острів Мордвинова (uk); Elephant Island (en-ca); Elephanteiland (nl); Illa Elefante (gl); جزيرة الفيل (ar); Fil Adası (tr); Isla Elefant (oc) pulau di Antarktika (id); wyspa w Antarktyce (pl); øy i Sør-Shetlandsøyene (Antarktis) (nb); eiland in Antarctica (nl); остров в Антарктиде (ru); Insel der Antarktis (de); saari Eteläisten Shetlandsaarten saaristossa (fi); island off the coast of Antarctica (en); insulo en Antarkto (eo); pulo di Antarktika (ace); pulo sa Antarctica (ceb) Elephant Island, Fil adası (tr); Île Éléphant, Île de l'éléphant, Ile de l'Elephant, Elephant Island, Île de l’Éléphant (fr); Elephant Island (sv); Elephant Island (nn); אי הפילים (he); Elephant (eiland), Elephant Eiland, Olifanteiland (nl); Illa Elephant (ca); Isola Elefante, Isola elefante, Elephant Island (South Shetland Islands), Elephant island (it); Elephant Island (fi); Элефант (остров), Мордвинова (остров) (ru); Elephant Island, Insulo Elephant, Elefanta Insulo, Elephant-insulo (eo); Wyspa Słoniowa (pl); Elephant Island (nb), Library of Congress authority ID: sh95007199, Chinstrap Penguins surround the monument to Piloto Pardo at Point Wild, Elephant Island.jpg, Cloud cover on Elephant Island by Philip Hall, Austral Summer 1993-1994 (NOAA).jpg, Corp2952 - Flickr - NOAA Photo Library.jpg, Corp2960 - Flickr - NOAA Photo Library.jpg, Glacier on Elephant Island (6019065947).jpg, Glacier on Elephant Island (6019157835).jpg, Glacier on Elephant Island (6019601540).jpg, Glacier on Elephant Island (6019623842).jpg, Glacier on Elephant Island (6019646514).jpg, Glacier on Elephant Island (6019652548).jpg, Icicles hang down at Point Wild, Elephant Island (6019704510).jpg, Monument to Piloto Pardo at Point Wild, Elephant Island (6019111277).jpg, North Coast of Elephant Island (16013623740).jpg, Point Wild, Elephant Island (6019024551).jpg, Point Wild, Elephant Island (6019044525).jpg, Point Wild, Elephant Island (6019582640).jpg, Point Wild, Elephant Island (6019588286).jpg, Relieving of marooned men by Chilean tug Yelcho, 1916 - photographer Frank Hurley (8725114142).jpg, South Shetland-2016-Elephant Island (from the Southern Ocean) 01.jpg, South Shetland-2016-Elephant Island (Point Wild)–Bust of Luis Pardo 02.jpg, South Shetland-2016-Elephant Island (Point Wild)–Furness Glacier 01.jpg, South Shetland-2016-Elephant Island (Point Wild)–Furness Glacier 02.jpg, South Shetland-2016-Elephant Island (Point Wild)–Furness Glacier 03.jpg, South Shetland-2016-Elephant Island (Point Wild)–Iceberg 01.jpg, South Shetland-2016-Elephant Island (Point Wild)–Iceberg 02.jpg, The Antarctic regions (1904) (19368586535).jpg, The siege of the South pole; the story of Antarctic exploration BHL48381662.jpg, Tourists land at Point Wild, Elephant Island (6019058631).jpg, Zodiacs at Point Wild, Elephant Island (6019080189).jpg, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Elephant_Island&oldid=307852486, Uses of Wikidata Infobox providing interwiki links, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.
