Polar lakes and rivers : limnology of Arctic and Antarctic aquatic ecosystems /

This title provides an overview of the ecology of high latitude lakes, rivers and glacial environments in both the North and South polar regions. It describes each ecosystem type, the remarkable aquatic life that thrives in these extreme habitats, and the similarities and differences between Arctic...
