Abstract
Pack-ice and sea-water samples collected at different depths from Terra Nova Bay and Ross Sea, during 1990/1991 Italian Antarctic Expedition, were analyzed using HRGC and GC-MS. Several classes of biogenic and anthropogenic organic compounds were identified and measured in both matrices. The results showed the changes in the organic composition at varying depths of pack-ice and sea-water and the enrichment of organic compounds in the pack.Keywords
