The biogeochemical dynamics of fjords around Antarctica are strongly influenced by cryospheric, climatic, and oceanographic processes that occur on a seasonal scale. Furthermore, as global climate change continues, there is a growing awareness of the impact of ocean warming on glacier melting, which...
