This model illustrates 1 square meter of Antarctic seabed (coordinates of its center: 74.6901°S, 164.1037°E, depth 22 metres) from the permanent Transect T1 (BTN_PNRA_T1) in Tethys Bay (Terra Nova Bay, Ross Sea, Antarctica) established in 2015 in the framework of the PNRA (Italian National Antarctic Research Program) project “ICE-LAPSE”. The model shows a large specimen of the sponge Mycale (Oxymycale) acerata Kirkpatrick, 1907 (annotation 1, specimen label: BTN_PNRA_T1_Myc_1) which has an estimated volume of 0,0226 cubic meters. The transect was recorded on November 14 2017 by Ian Hawes (NIWA) with a Sony A7s II (16mm). This 3D model represents the first virtual biological record acquired by the Italian National Antarctic Museum database to document the biodiversity of Terra Nova Bay through the use of photogrammetric techniques.

Original 3D model at https://sketchfab.com/models/25c6475793e34976ae839098b6794568
The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species and is endemic to Antarctica. This museum specimen (MNA 9151) was collected dead at Cape Washington, an ASPA Site (Antarctic Special Protected Area), in the late ’80s. The site is now comprised in the largest marine protected area (1.55 million km2) of the Ross Sea, which is managed by the CCAMLR (Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources). This Aptenodytes forsteri chick is covered with the typical silver-grey down feathers and has a black head and white mask. The chick is about 50 cm tall.
