      <abstract>Observations of bacteria abundance and chlorophyll-a
      concentrations were extracted from sea ice cores. Ice cores, ~1 meter in
      length, were obtained during 2 ship cruises to the Antarctic, July-August
      2001. The general survey area includes: the continental shelf to the west
      of the Antarctic Peninsula extending from the northern tip of Adelaide
      Island to the southern portion of Alexander Island, Marguerite Bay, and
      seaward to the ~2000 meter contour. Data reported: down core values of
      bacteria abundance, carbon biomass and chlorophyll-a concentrations.
