Figure 1. Distribution of sampling sites in subpolar fjords and open shelf stations along the WAP.

Figure 1

Blue dots are shelf stations B, E and F, at depths of ∼600 m; boxes indicate the subpolar WAP fjords (1) Andvord, (2) Flandres and (3) Barilari Bays. Panels 1–3: multibeam bathymetry superimposed on satellite imagery of the three WAP fjords. White lines indicate phototransect positions: I = inner basin (IA = inner basin A & IB = inner basin B); M = middle basin; O = outer basin; and MTH = fjord mouth. ‘G’ indicates the location of a tidewater glacier. Note that each fjord has multiple tidewater glaciers 10–15 km long carrying ice from the Peninsula ice cap (previously described by Cook et al. [31]). Data available from the U.S. Geological Survey. Satellite images are public domain USGS Products.
