Abstract

As part of the scientific program of the Russian Antarctic expedition (season 2017–2018), in the Nella fjord (Progress station, East Antarctica) was carried out monitoring of the water-ice environmental system on the topic «Assessment of the ecology of the Antarctic sea ice zone», which is held here since the International Polar Year (2007). Water and ice samples were collected at the fjord reference points on 23 and 29 December for chemical analysis and study of species composition of water and ice biota.
