One important coastal polynya around Antarctica is Terra Nova Bay (TNB) polynya. Its formation and persistence are due to the combined effect of katabatic winds, regional ice conditions, and the Drygalski Ice Tongue (DIT). The combined effect of these elements arranges a delicate balance in TNB. To...
