Euphausia crystallorophias is a species of krill, sometimes called ice krill,[1] crystal krill,[2] or Antarctic coastal krill.[2] It lives in the coastal waters around Antarctica, further south than any other species of krill.[2] The specimens for the species' original description were collected through holes cut in the ice by Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery Expedition,[1] several thousand having been donated by Thomas Vere Hodgson.[3]
