  1. Concentrations of total dissolved iron (dFe), dissolved manganese (dMn), dissolved zinc (dZn), dissolved cobalt (dCo), macronutrients (NOx = NO3 (nitrate) + NO2 (nitrite), PO4 = phosphate, SiOH4 = silicate) and chlorophyll a (Chla) were determined in the seawater sampled West and East of the Drake Passage.
