Fig. 2 Schematic view of the sea-ice ridge habitat, with macro porosity in the keel that allows for
different ice associated algae to thrive in the interstitial spaces and surface of ice blocks. (Modified
from Fernández-Méndez et al. 2018)
Fig. 3 Schematic view of how a heavy snow load on thinner sea ice allows flooding of the ice/
snow interface that can be a new habitat for algae, with stable conditions and avoidance by grazers.
