Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Prince Olav Harbour

Additionally, the lack of stagnant freshwater bodies limits breeding grounds. Here are key elements affecting mosquito presence:

Cold temperatures suppress mosquito metabolism.
High winds disrupt mosquito flight.
Limited vegetation reduces shelter.

Understanding these factors helps explain why the local mosquito population remains minimal. For those interested in ecological studies, the British Antarctic Survey provides insights into the region's unique insect fauna.
