Elements of the proposed seasonal synergy between microorganisms encased in sea ice were examined by a combination of field and laboratory approaches. Sea-ice brines were drained from sea ice in Kanajorsuit Bay (2013) and Kobbefjord (2014), Greenland during late winter/early spring. The natural comm...
