Arctic Ocean Biodiversity

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The Arctic Ocean is unique on Earth in its physical and biological properties.

Description

It is the most extreme ocean in regard to the seasonality of light and its year-round existing ice cover. Current knowledge indicates that the Arctic seas hold a multitude of unique life forms highly adapted in their life history, ecology and physiology to the extreme and seasonal conditions of their environment.

Our knowledge of what currently lives in the Arctic Ocean is still rudimentary compared to most other regions, due to the logistical challenges imposed by its multiyear ice and inhospitable climate. For more information please refer to this URL: arcodiv.org
