Seal Scientist! Measuring under the ice shelf!

Scientists are interested in learning about how the ocean affects the ice shelves around Antarctica! The Southern Ocean, that circles around all of Antarctica, has different layers of water at different ocean depths that have different temperatures, salinity and more! Read More
