Almost four decades of deep-sea exploration have revealed hydrothermal venting to be a ubiquitous phenomenon across the global ocean floor, yet these systems have only recently been discovered in Antarctica. Between 1998 and 2012, high-temperature vents were detected and sampled along the East Scotia Ridge (ESR) and within the Kemp Caldera, which forms part of the South Sandwich island arc, during four research cruises to the Scotia Sea. These vent sites are the first discovered south of the polar front, and they have a distinct faunal assemblage that has characterised them as a new biogeographic province. In this thesis, I investigate the controls on hydrothermal fluid chemistry at the ESR and the Kemp Caldera, using the rare earth elements (REEs) as geochemical tracers. I demonstrate that REE distributions in hydrothermal fluids and associated sulphate deposits are variably influenced by reaction with the host rock; temperature and phase separation; fluid composition and magmatic gas injection; and anhydrite precipitation/dissolution. Secondly, I assess tissue bioaccumulation of metals in Kiwa tyleri sp. nov., the dominant macrofaunal species at the ESR vent sites, in response to their environmental exposure. Significant variation in metal burden between tissues reflects both abiotic and biotic controls on metal uptake, including external concentration; trophic position; ecological niche and behavioural traits; in addition to cellular mechanisms of regulation. Finally, I investigate proteomic pathways of metal regulation in the shallow water mussel, Mytilus edulis, and the vent-living mussel, Bathymodiolus sp. I show that both species have strong defence mechanisms against metal toxicity and oxidative stress, which may be important for successful colonisation of hydrothermal systems. This work highlights the diversity in chemical compositions of fluids venting in back-arc and island-arc settings, and provides an insight into metal regulatory mechanisms that may have facilitated faunal colonisation of these extreme habitats. iii iv Contents Abstract iii List of Figures ix List of Tables xv Declaration of Authorship xvii Acknowledgements xviii Definitions and Common

In many cases isotopic variability can be influenced by the scale of sampling and biological characteristics including body size or sex. Sample size-corrected (SEAc) and Bayesian (SEAb) standard ellipse areas and generalised least squares (GLS) models were used to explore the spatial variability of δ13C and δ15N in Kiwa tyleri (decapod), Gigantopelta chessoia (peltospirid gastropod) and Vulcanolepas scotiaensis (stalked barnacle) collected from 3 hydrothermal vent field sites (E2, E9N and E9S) on the East Scotia Ridge (ESR), Southern Ocean. SEAb only revealed spatial differences in isotopic niche area in male K. tyleri. However, the parameters used to draw the SEAc, eccentricity (E) and angle of the major SEAc axis to the x-axis (θ), indicated spatial differences in the relationships between δ13C and δ15N in all 3 species.

    Research vessel POLARSTERN PS119: 13.04. – 31.05.2019 Punta Arenas ‐ Port Stanley Sixth weekly report: 13. – 19. May, 2019 To the smoking volcano of Saunders Island Like last week, we spent the sixth week in the southernmost area of the South Sandwich Plate, from the back‐arc spreading ridge of the segments 8 and 9 in the west to the Kemp Caldera. The volcano of Kemp Caldera is part of the collision zone with the South American plate to the East. A look to our expedition logo shows symbolically the spreading ridge on the left and flowing to the right the volcanoes, fore‐arc area and subduction zone. The weather conditions, which denied from Sunday to Tuesday morning further dives, permitted not until Tuesday to dive down with ROV QUEST to the seafloor. We used the dive‐free time for the deployment of other sampling gear. On Sunday, 12th of May, we sampled the deepest area of the Kemp caldera with a 3 m long gravity corer and the multi‐corer. The until then surveyed Parasound profiles over the caldera showed in the deepest area narrow sediment layers, whose mineral and chemical composition in references to hydrothermal deposits are of huge interest. With our corers we were able to sample sediment layers of 230 cm depth, which surprised us by their colouring and diverse sediment compositions.

    1 The Scientific Naturalist 2 3 From hot waters of polar seas: the mysterious life of the male yeti crab 4 5 Sven Thatje*, Leigh Marsh 6 7 Ocean and Earth Science, University of Southampton, National Oceanography Centre 8 Southampton, Waterfront Campus, Southampton SO14 3ZH, UK 9 10 *Email: [email protected] 11 In 2010, a new biogeographic province of hydrothermal vent fauna was discovered on the East Scotia Ridge 12 (ESR), Southern Ocean, situated to a maximum depth of 2,600 m (Rogers et al. 2012). Two hydrothermal vent 13 fields, named E2 and E9, were found on the northern and southern branch of the ESR, respectively. The 14 chemosynthetic dependent benthic macrofauna that dominate these sites were new to science, and many of the 15 species appear to be endemic to the Southern Ocean province. A member of the enigmatic family of Kiwaidae – 16 commonly known as yeti crabs or squat lobsters – visually dominates the vent fauna (Fig. 1A– C) (Marsh et al. 17 2012, Rogers et al. 2012). This species, Kiwa tyleri, sustains itself on chemosynthetic bacteria, which grow on 18 two types of specialized setae that cover the ventral side of its carapace and pereopods in dense rows (Thatje et 19 al. 2015a, b). For the majority of individuals, their habitat is limited to a thermally well-defined, narrow envelope 20 of warm-water surrounding the hydrothermal vent system, bound in the cold temperatures of the deep Southern 21 Ocean, which were found to be as cold as 0 and 1.3°C at E2 and E9, respectively.

May, 2019 White smoker and yellow sulphur of the Kemp Caldera On Sunday, 5th May, we arrived at the Kemp Caldera, a prominent crater of volcanic origin at the southern end of the South Sandwich volcanic arc. The caldera, which has an average diameter of 7.4 km, has a depth of 1600m in its centre and has a wide rim with several secondary cones in 800‐900 m water depth (Fig. 1). A younger volcanic cone rise up to about 200 m from the western bottom of the crater. A first measurement with the CTD sensors on Sunday, 5th May, over a known hydrothermal vent field confirmed, that hydrothermal activity was still present. Next to a distinctly increased turbidity, also increased temperatures and an anomaly in the redox potential of the water column near the thermal area was observed. On Monday, 6th May, we deployed a gravity corer and a multicorer half way between the caldera to the East and the segment E9 of the East Scotia Ridge to the West. In the night from Monday to Tuesday, a further CTD followed as well as seafloor survey with the OFOBS (Ocean Floor Observation Bathymetry System). On Tuesday, 7th May, at last we were able to conduct a long ROV dive in the Kemp Caldera with more than 11 hours on the seafloor (Fig. 2). We started the dive at the location “Great Wall”, which got its name from an altered hypabyssal rock covered at many places with either yellow sulphur or white bacterial mats.
