Origin of salts in pond waters of the Ladyrinth in Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica: A study on lithium and boron abundances
Lithium and boron contents in pond waters of the Labyrinth (77°33′S, 160°50′E) of the Dry Valleys region in Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica were determined to elucidate the origin of dissolved salts. Also Lakes Vanda, Fryxell and Bonney, and Don Juan Pond in the Dry Valleys region as well as Deep...
