Benthic marine habitats in Antarctica
Benthic habitats in Antarctica differ from those in other parts of the world in several important characteris-lies. Most of the Southern Ocean overlies the abyssal plain, where the sediments are primarily siliceous. Icc-rafted debris provides isolated patches of hard substratum but otherwise little...
