What Influences Mosquito Activity in Possession Bay?

Several factors keep mosquito populations low in Possession Bay:

Cold temperatures: The sub-Antarctic climate rarely warms enough to support mosquito breeding.

In addition, the area's unique ecosystem, including seals and penguins, contributes to a balanced environment where mosquitoes struggle to thrive. Understanding these influences helps locals and visitors appreciate why mosquito activity remains minimal compared to tropical regions.
