Caption from 2024 WHOI Wall Calendar, February:
Brown skuas (Stercorarius antarcticus) perched on a rock at Biscoe Point on Anvers Island, off the Antarctic Peninsula. The glacier in the photo has receded quickly in recent decades, revealing that Biscoe Point is actually an island. This area is one of the most rapidly changing environments in the world and is designated as an Antarctic Specially Protected Area. WHOI researchers are part of a multi-institutional Long-Term Ecological Research program studying climate change, the flow of nutrients among plankton in coastal waters, and larger organisms that depend on plankton.
