Water temperatures around the Antarctic

Caption

The graphic shows the water temperatures around the Antarctic. On the western side of Antarctica, water temperature at the sea floor is approaching 2 degrees C - and that is warm enough to melt the ice that is flowing on top of it. Sea temperatures on the eastern flank are colder. Credit: Dr Benjamin Davison/University of Leeds.
