SUMMARY. The ecology of the phytoplankton of Heywood Lake, Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, Antarctica was investigated during 1969–72. The lake, which is ice‐covered for 8–10 months per year, is moderately eutrophic due to enrichment by seal excreta. The annual cycle of the phytoplankton is desc...
