Lake Vanda, a perennially ice-covered Antarctic lake has a highly stratified structure with a pronounced density gradient from 45 m and is anoxic from 68 rn down. In order to gain a greater understanding of the carbon cycling in the lake we attempted to measure sulphate reduction in the summer of 19...
