So, Antarctica’s kinda doing its own thing 👀 As the ice melts, it’s uncovering iron-rich rocks which glaciers can transport to the ocean. This iron feeds tiny marine organisms — and they pull down carbon from the air.   Thanks to research by Dr Kate Winter we’re learning that feedbacks in Antarctica play an important role in the planet’s carbon cycle.   Science = wild 🌎✨ 📸 Footage and image credits: Dr Kate Winter, Jacque Richon and Henri Robert   💡Follow the link in bio to discover more!
