The result? New insights into how these communities adapt to changes in light (e.g., from extra snow cover to storminess), plus a step forward for under-ice remote monitoring techniques of algal photobiology.
The experiment was so iconic that it became an official stamp in NZ!

We placed coloured Perspex panels over the Antarctic fast-ice before the algal bloom kicked off. Then we combined photobiological analysis with underwater hyperspectral imaging to track how ice algae responded under these altered light regimes.

It’s about more than data — it’s about people, humour, and staying human in one of the most extreme places on Earth. #Antarctica #seaice #Science #NZDF #scottbase #underice #ROVs #mapping #underwater #sked #radio #fieldwork

This short film captures one such moment between our field team and the radio comms operators from Scott Base as part of our expedition to investigate new technologies for mapping the under-ice seafloor and sympagic communities with the support of @antarcticsciaus.bsky.social IMAS @utas.edu.au
