Figure 1
Map of the Arctic Eurasian Basin with sampling stations.
Yellow dots represent ice stations where algal aggregates were observed (Expedition PS78/3 took place in summer 2011 and PS80/3 in summer 2012). The purple line corresponds to the September monthly average sea ice extent in 2011 and the pink line in 2012 (Source: http://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index/).
