DESCRIPTION: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 biol
 ogy of life anywhere. Life in the seas around Antarctica is unexpectedly d
 iverse and abundant.  It houses true giant species and animals that canno
 t live elsewhere because their biology is so tuned to the constant low tem
 perature and extreme seasonality.  They are also amongst the most threate
 ned 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 li
 ving in Antarctic seas\, how they cope and thrive in the conditions and ju
 st how unusual and bizarre some of their biology is.\n\nTalks are priced a
 t £4 for non-Scientific Society members. Scientific Society members will
