Arctic Ocean is cold, inaccessible, plunged into total darkness during the winter and often covered with ice, yet there's an abundance of diverse life. It's a rich and vulnerable ecosystem, where basically all depends on tiniest creatures: plankton.
Explore this tiny and misterious world, and find out:
- What is plankton?
- What’s specific about Arctic plankton?
- How important is it in the ecosystem?
- Can it be used by humans directly?
- Can plankton bloom in the Arctic?
- How does climate change influence plankton?
