  abstract = {{D}issolved {F}e (d{F}e) concentrations were measured in the upper 1300 m of the water column in the vicinity of the {K}erguelen {I}slands as part of the second {K}erguelen {O}cean {P}lateau compared {S}tudy ({KEOPS}2). {C}oncentrations ranged from 0.06 nmol {L}-1 in offshore, {S}outhern {O}cean waters to 3.82 nmol {L}-1 within {H}illsborough {B}ay, on the north-eastern coast of the {K}erguelen {I}slands. {D}irect island runoff, glacial melting and resuspended sediments were identified as important inputs of d{F}e that could potentially fertilise the northern part of the plateau. {A} significant deep d{F}e enrichment was observed over the plateau with d{F}e concentrations increasing up to 1.30 nmol {L}-1 close to the seafloor, probably due to sediment resuspension and pore water release. {B}iological uptake was shown to induce a significant decrease in d{F}e concentrations between two visits (28 days apart) at a station above the plateau. {O}ur work also considered other processes and sources, such as lateral advection of enriched seawater, remineralisation processes, and the influence of the polar front ({PF}) as a vector for {F}e transport. {O}verall, heterogeneous sources of {F}e over and off the {K}erguelen {P}lateau, in addition to strong variability in {F}e supply by vertical or horizontal transport, may explain the high variability in d{F}e concentrations observed during this study.},
