Biologists have a very important role on Antarctica. A biologist is someone who studies living organisms. In the case of biologists on Antarctica, they are studying living organisms not only on top of the ice but also under the ice.
The Southern Ocean has a very unusual and highly specialised habitat. The life in Antarctica fascinates biologists very much. Some of the animals that fascinate biologists are krill, squid and other kinds of fish.
Biologists study the unique conditions on Antarctica such as the extremely cold temperatures and the small amounts of light. They often study evolutionary processes.
Biologists are interested in how Antarctica's changes are going to affect the future. Biologists analyse what changes there have been over many thousands of years. They do this by drilling holes into the ice and then analysing it to determine any changes in the ice over time. They are also interested in how global warming is affecting survival strategies.
A biologist is a type of scientist who is interested in living organisms and what affect global warming is having on them. Biologists want to know how Antarctica is changing and what it will look like in future generations.
