Thermosolutal stratifications in some saline lakes in the Dry Valleys, Victoria Land are examined from the viewpoint of thermosolutal convection. It is concluded that thermosolutal convection develops in Lakes Vanda and Miers, while the molecular process is predominant in Lake Bonney east lobe. Osci...
