Ever get #Antarctica and the #Arctic confused? 🤔❄️ Which has polar bears and which has penguins? 🐧🐻‍❄️ And where does Santa live? 🎅 You’re not alone! The Arctic is an ocean surrounded by land, while Antarctica is a continent surrounded by ocean. 🌍

Our CRiceS_H2020 session at the 2024 European Polar Science Week focused on enhanced understanding of polar ocean-ice-atmosphere interactions within the climate system. Thanks for the fruitful discussions!

🌊Southern Africa's complex ocean currents create corridors & barriers for #marine life movement 🐟🦞 🪸Understanding these patterns is vital for effective marine conservation & #MPA design🦐 int-res.com/articles/meps_… IRD.fr Institute for Coastal & Marine Research University of Pretoria SAIAB Rhodes University

New research shows that #Antarctic #krill 🦐 sequester as much carbon through their sinking 💩 as mangroves and seagrass! With climate change and fishing pressures rising, protecting this carbon sink is more urgent than ever #ProtectAntarctica #BlueCarbon nature.com/articles/s4146…

Quirky marine life! 🌊 Sea pens are oceanic superorganisms with polyps creating stunning structures. 🐙🔬 Their quill-like shape also hosts small sea life like brittle stars. ✒️ #SeaCreatures #MarineLife 📸captured off Prince Edward Islands #FBIPSeaMap #biodiversity #offshore
