Seafloor biota imaged beneath the Amery Ice Shelf illustrating variations in ocean current circulation beneath the ice shelf. a–d Diverse community dominated by sessile filter feeders at sites of inflowing bottom currents, 100 km from the calving front. e Deposit-feeders 200 km from the calving front associated with inflowing bottom currents. f Mobile scavengers imaged 160 km from the calving front in an area of weak bottom current circulation.
