Description: Results of analysis of Canadian Arctic waters collected May 1969 to test the hypothesis that active glaciers enrich nutrient concentrations in the sea. Significantly higher concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrate and silicate were found in the waters of glaciated South Cape Fiord than in unglaciated Grise Fiord, Ellesmere Island, or in adjacent Jones Sound.
