Abstract
The Arctic Ocean is located at the “top” of the world, and it is covered by sea ice most of the year. It experiences long periods of darkness in winter (polar night) and long periods of light in summer (polar day). During spring and summer, the melting of sea ice decreases the salinity (saltiness) in the upper part of the ocean. These differences in conditions across seasons are called seasonality, and the microscopic algae that live in Arctic sea ice must be able to cope with this strong seasonality. Are you interested in knowing how sea ice algae deal with such extreme changes in their environment? If you are, read this article to discover how sea ice algae adjust to dramatic seasonal variations in both light and salinity.
