Palmer Deep (PD) is one of several regional hotspots of biological productivity along the inner shelf of the Western Antarctic Peninsula. The proximity of hotspots to shelf-crossing deep troughs has led to the ‘canyon hypothesis’, which proposes that circumpolar deep water flowing shoreward along th...
