Title: The occurrence of ice platelets at 250 m depth near the Filchner Ice Shelf and its significance for sea ice biology
Abstract: Abstract Large single-crystal ice platelets were collected at 250 m depth in the vicinity of the Filchner Ice Shelf. They were probably formed in supercooled water streaming out from under the ice shelf as supported by hydrographic observations. The significance of large platelets rising from greater depths for the biological processes in sea ice along the Antarctic ice shelves is discussed.
