Snow drift samples collected on Mizuho Plateau, Antarctica, were analyzed for volatile fatty acids including formic, acetic, propionic and butyric acids. Formic (2.3-11.7 ppb) and acetic (11.4-59.8 ppb) acids were detected as major components. Their concentrations were far lower than those reported...
