| Abstract | With the transition of Antarctica from seasonally cold to a permanently frozen state came a very significant transition in the surrounding waters. During the seasonal cold period the formation of sea ice and reduction of water temperature created a set of problems for marine organisms. Seasonal changes that could previously be avoided by behavioural adaptations became permanent and had a profound effect on the marine fauna and flora |
