The Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica teems with unique species, adapted to life with frozen seas. These sea ice ecosystems depend on polynyas — open water areas within the ice — hot spots for biological productivity and marine predators. By protecting these crucial marine areas and the species within them, we can safeguard a sustainable future for the southernmost continent — and the life it sustains around the world.
