What Influences Mosquito Activity in Undine Harbour?

Several environmental factors keep mosquito populations extremely low in Undine Harbour. The cold temperatures, often near freezing, and the island’s strong oceanic winds create an inhospitable environment for mosquitoes to thrive. Additionally, the scarcity of stagnant freshwater pools—essential for mosquito larvae development—limits their breeding. Key influences include:
  • Harsh sub-Antarctic climate
  • High wind speeds
  • Limited freshwater habitats
Understanding these factors helps explain why the mosquito forecast remains low throughout the year. For more on how climate impacts insects, visit the Antarctic Insect Ecology page.
