Abstract: The Antarctica is very cold and infertile, where the organisms such as seals and penguins can transfer nutrients from sea to land, and these nutrients are crucial to support the ecosystems in the ice-free areas of the Antarctica. This paper reviewed the ways by which the nutrients were transferred from the sea to the ice-free areas of the Antarctica, with the focus on the effects of the nutrients transferred by the organisms on the composition, structure, and function of the ecosystems in the ice-free areas, as well as the pathways of  nutrient translocation from the ice-free areas to the sea and their impacts on the marine ecosystems. Taking the Fildes Peninsula in West Antarctica as an example, the data of the phosphorus transferred by penguins and seals to the terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems were compiled and analyzed, the mechanisms of the phosphorus biogeochemical cycle in the Antarctica were discussed, and the flux of the phosphorus was estimated. Our results indicated that in the Ardley Island of the Antarctica, there were three ways of foreign phosphorus input, including physical transport, bio-transport, and atmospheric deposition. Remarkably, the phosphorus transported by penguins in the form of guano accounted for 94.34%-99.74% of the total foreign phosphorus input, being a key contributor to the phosphorus cycle in the Antarctic ecosystems.
