The Vestfold Hills is a coastal Antarctic oasis, a rare ice-free region containing a high density of meromictic (permanently stratified) lakes. These lakes are ideal model ecosystems as their microbial communities exist along physico-chemical gradients, allowing populations to be correlated with geo...
