Due to extremely low Reynold's number, the phytoplankton move with the currents

Provides food source for most other life forms, such as penguins
Sometimes found in groups called swarms
Due to a low Reynolds number, the krill mostly move with the currents but can also move freely
Flightless bird, "wings" adapted to be effective paddles for swimming
Have no predators on land
Feed on fish and zooplankton

Adelie penguins rely on sea ice for their habitat
