　　The authors cA.led the ice trap“a major historic globA. sink of man.made particulates.”and said their findings“go some way to help clarify one of the most puzzling aspects of current understanding on the quantities of plastic debris reported in the oceans.”As Science points out，288 million tons of plastics were produced in 2012.

　　Micro plastics garbage has aso been found on the shores of southernmost Chile，so the authors said it’s time to investigate the planet’s other polar region.“WHile multiyear sea ice makes up a smaller proportion of aunual sea ice cover in the Southem Ocean.and perenniA. sea ice cover around Antarctica is following different trends,our finding indicate the importance of sampling ice from the Antarctic to see if it too contains micro plastics，”they write.
