Summary[edit]

Description

Scientists have discovered that icebergs have a major impact on the ecology of the ocean around them, serving as "hotspots" for ocean life, with thriving communities of seabirds above and a web of phytoplankton, krill and fish below. Icebergs hold trapped terrestrial material, which they release far out at sea as they melt. Find out more in the NSF news release.
