Analyses of Cl−, NO3−, SO42−, Na and Mg made on a series of surface snow samples, collected at 4 km intervals along a 116 km traverse of the Fimbul Ice Shelf in Dronning Maud Land, show that fractionation of some of the sea salt species has taken place. There is depletion of Mg compared to Na in the...
