    During two months, measurements of CO2 and DMS - two majors climatically active gases - and related parameters have been carried out within sea ice. First measurements of CO2 fluxes over sea ice edge have been conducted. Underway measurement of pCO2 has been also carried out onboard S.V. Astrolabe on the way down and back from Tasmania to Antarctica.
