If you have a question about this talk, please contact .

The coldest, ice laden, and most seasonal seas on the Earth hold an abundance of life that is the most bizarre and extreme in its biology of life anywhere. Life in the seas around Antarctica is unexpectedly diverse and abundant.  It houses true giant species and animals that cannot live elsewhere because their biology is so tuned to the constant low temperature and extreme seasonality.  They are also amongst the most threatened by change and are in some of the fastest areas of change on the planet.  This presentation will discuss the limitations faced by the animals living in Antarctic seas, how they cope and thrive in the conditions and just how unusual and bizarre some of their biology is.
