Scientist working on the LTER (Long Term Ecological Research) project on Lake Bonney preparing a robot that samples the lake water column throughout the year. The LTER project is a study of the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in the Dry Valleys region of Antarctica. The dry valleys represent a region where life approaches its environmental limits, and unlike most other ecosystems, are dominated by microorganisms, mosses, lichens, and relatively few groups of invertebrates; higher forms of life are virtually non-existent.
