Seasonal Variation in Chemical Composition and the Origin of the Saline Lakes around Syowa Station, Antarctica
For a period from December 1972 to February 1974, we made researches on the lakes around Syowa Station. The present paper deals with the consideration about chemical compositions of the lakes in Langhovde, Skarvsnes and West Ongul Island, in which the total concentration of salts is more than 10 g/l...
