The ICICLES project investigates the cycling of iron and organic matter in subglacial ecosystems beneath Antarctica. It aims to understand how these nutrients affect marine productivity in the Southern Ocean by analyzing water and sediment samples from beneath the ice.
Glaciers have been conventionally viewed as lifeless bodies that have little impact on biogeochemical cycles.
It is now known that liquid water is present under all large ice masses.
In Antarctica, subglacial lakes and rivers have been discovered.
One of these subglacial lakes, Subglacial Lake Whillans, was accessed in 2013, and supports a diverse and metabolically active microbial ecosystem.
This raises questions about biogeochemical cycling within these ecosystems.
Specifically, the sources, c…
