Occurrence of various ingredients in the lake environments at Stornes Peninsula, Ingrid Christenson Coast, East Antarctica
The Larsemann Hills is an ice-free area of approximately 50 km2, located halfway between the Vestfold Hills and the Amery Ice Shelf on the south-eastern coast of Prydz Bay, Princess Elizabeth Land, East Antarctica (69o30’S, 76o19’58”E). The area consists of two major peninsulas Stornes and Broknes,...
