Summary: | Unlike the other large lakes in the ice-free valleys of southern Victoria Land, Antarctica, Lake Vida, in Victoria Valley, is probably frozen to its base. Sand layers in the uppermost 11 m. of ice on Lake Vida may indicate that this lake has a different history from the others. Summer-time ablation is about 50 cm. of ice. |
