Burdwood Bank

A vital oceanic landscape in the South Atlantic

Burdwood Bank is a prominent submerged plateau situated 200 kilometres south of the Falkland Islands. As an essential marine protected area, it features dramatic bathymetric relief, with steep slopes and a shallow summit that forces the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to create intense upwelling zones. This unique configuration supports high marine productivity, acting as a natural nursery and spawning ground for significant Southern Atlantic fish and wildlife populations.
