Abstract
    Polynyas in both the Arctic and Antarctic are known to be sites of substantial accumulations of toptrophic predators. Three polynyas (the Ross Sea polynya, the North Water polynya, and the Northeast Water polynya) are described in detail with regard to the distribution and activities of birds and marine mammals. The comparison shows that a substantial variation occurs both spatially and temporally among polynyas, but confirms that these regions are critical and active sites of material and energy transfer in polar systems.
