Summary The weathering of a suite of basalt clasts, that have been transported by mass wasting downslope in the Cumulus Hills region of the Queen Maud Mountains, Antarctica, is examined from both geochemical and glacio-geomorphic viewpoints. Chemical weathering, predominantly oxidation and hydration...
