Probably the greatest part of the warm deep water inside the strait at the south-west end flows eastwards past St. 550, south of Deception Island, through a gap in the supposed ridge between Deception and Trinity Islands. Below the level of the intermediate temperature maxima at Sts. 550 and 553 the water contains increasing proportions of Antarctic bottom water with depth. STATION SNOW I 552 553 500: 1000m- 5
