Resumen:
The hydrography of Potter Cove (King George Island, South Shetland Islands) is described in detail for one summer season. Recorded data are wind, air temperature, water temperature salinity and water colour. From these, information on surface circulation patterns and dynamics of suspended sediments is derived. Possible sources of sediment input are discussed. As a result, a complex interaction between wind forcing, circulation and seasonal melt of high glacier surface emerges.
