As the Antarctic Ice Pack Recedes, a Fragile Ecosystem Hangs in the Balance

Many key species of the Antarctic marine ecosystem--including krill, the backbone of the food chain--depend on the availability of winter sea ice. If global temperatures continue to rise and the winter ice pack continues to recede, this fragile Antarctic marine ecosystem could face collapse
