Antarctic Energies Animation. 10 minutes (approx.) 2009
To view this animation, or scenes within it, select from the icons above.
Physical and biological forces interact to shape the Antarctic environment: diatoms, krill, sea butterflies (pteropods), seals, albatrosses, humans, sea ice, bottom water circulation, the circumpolar current, ice melting, and sea levels rising.
Circles and spirals describe the forces that drive the Antarctic circumpolar current and the circulation of cold bottom water.
Antarctic Energies was screened throughout the GLOBEC Open Science Meeting in Victoria, Canada, 22-26 June 2009.
