Chemical Stratification in Lake Fryxell, Victoria Land, Antarctica
A landlocked lake of sodium-mixed-anion type in lower Taylor Valley has a salinity ranging from 1/35 to 1/5 that of sea water. The lake seems to be chemically stratified into three distinct layers. Several possible sources are postulated for the dissolved salts. The chemical zonation may have been i...

No single origin for the lake waters or the stratification seems likely. |
