P(論文) Remarkable dilution and concentration of saline water in Don Juan Pond were found in 1974,in the winter of which Don Juan Pond was found to be frozen for the first time since its discovery. Don Juan Pond was supplied with a large amount of water during summer to winter of 1974. The supplied water probably originated from the same source as that of water of Lake Vanda. Concentration of saline water in Don Juan Pond was very rapid even under low temperatures. Rapid evaporation of saline water caused large oxygen isotope fractionation between saline water and water vapor under low temperatures. departmental bulletin paper
