Description
Summary:Marine biological and environmental investigations were carried out on the coastal waters off Great Wall Station (62°13's, 58°'W) on King George Island, Antarctica, from November 17, 1988, to March 3, 1989. Coastal fast ice covered inner part of Great Wall Bay until mid-December 1988, which allowed us to take ice core sampling and observations from mid-November to early December 1988. During this period, ice thickness ranged from 90 to 70km with baout 20cm of snow cover. About 5cm brown layer occurred in the middle part of fast ice core collected on November 20, 1988 at site 2, and two brown layers occurred in the interior of ice core collected on November 17, 20 and 26, 1988 at site 5.
