Diagrammatic sketch of circulation round the South Shetland Islands and position of overfalls. some passes through the individual straits of the islands curving to the south-west on the northern shores of the islands, causing an anticlockwise circulation. This is shown diagrammatically in Fig. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (Great Britain); National Institute of Oceanography of Great Britain; Great Britain.
