There is no doubt Antarctica is an incredible tourist destination. It is a magnificent and largely uninhabited wilderness with majestic mountains, glaciers, icebergs and abundant wildlife. Its remoteness, inaccessibility and severe climate add an element of adventure to a visit to Antarctica.

Visitor numbers have increased rapidly over the last few decades. During the 1998-99 summer season, over 10,000 tourists visited Antarctica compared with less than 2,000 19 years ago. Tours are organised by private companies and people from all over the world make the journey to see the icy continent.

The trend of increasing visitor numbers has led the Antarctic Treaty countries to establish guidelines and regulations to minimise the impact of these visitors on this remarkable environment.

Which rocky intertidal zone, also called the super tidal zone, is only covered by water during strong storms?

Alex777 [14]

spray zone is the rocky intertidal zone, also called the super tidal zone, is only covered by water during strong storms.

The topmost region where the marine ecology and terrestrial ecosystem converge is known as the Spray Zone. It is a transitional area, and the breadth and height vary from one location to the next. In the image above, a rock with a few weakly growing terrestrial plants meets a pine forest. The water is close to the bottom of the grey rock wall.

The organisms that dwell in the Spray Zone must be resilient to desiccation (drying out), salt spray, wind, and sporadic surf action. The terrestrial plants that you can see growing between the pine forest and the rock can withstand salt and set roots in fissures and fractures where soil has been trapped and stabilized. Low species diversity can be seen in this area. Do you recall the dominant organism in the spray zone? Let's get to know this plant, hint.
