Antarctic waters predominantly sink beneath subantarctic waters, while associated zones of mixing and upwelling create a zone very high in marine productivity, especially for Antarctic krill . This line, like the Arctic tree line , is a natural boundary rather than an artificial one, like a line of latitude. It not only separates two hydrology hydrological regions , but also separates areas of distinctive marine life associations and of different climate s.
