Soils in ice-free areas in Antarctica are recognized for their high salt concentrations and persistent arid conditions. While previous studies have investigated the distribution of salts and potential sources in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, logistical constraints have limited our investigation and understanding of salt dynamics within the Transantarctic Mountains. We focused on the Shackleton Glacier (85° S, 176° W), a major outlet glacier of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet located in the Central Transantarctic Mountains (CTAM), and collected surface soil samples from 10 ice-free areas. Concentrations of water-soluble nitrate (NO 3 – ) and sulfate (SO 4 2– ) ranged from <0.2 to ∼150 μmol g –1 and <0.02 to ∼450 μmol g –1 , respectively. In general, salt concentrations increased with distance inland and with elevation. However, concentrations also increased with distance from current glacial ice position. To understand the source and formation of these salts, we measured the stable isotopes of dissolved water-soluble NO 3 – and SO 4 2– , and soil carbonate (HCO 3 + CO 3 ). δ 15 N-NO 3 values ranged from −47.8 to 20.4‰ and, while all Δ 17 O-NO 3 values are positive, they ranged from 15.7 to 45.9‰. δ 34 S-SO 4 and δ 18 O-SO 4 values ranged from 12.5 and 17.9‰ and −14.5 to −7.1‰, respectively. Total inorganic carbon isotopes in bulk soil samples ranged from 0.2 to 8.5‰ for δ 13 C and −38.8 to −9.6‰ for δ 18 O. A simple mixing model indicates that NO 3 – is primarily derived from the troposphere (0–70%) and stratosphere (30–100%).
