What Influences Mosquito Activity in Fortuna Bay?

Average temperatures rarely exceeding 10°C (50°F)
Persistent wind gusts along the coastline
Limited stagnant water pools for breeding

These conditions contrast sharply with warmer, humid areas where mosquitoes flourish. For a deeper dive into how climate impacts insect life here, visit British Antarctic Survey.
