Mineralization in Cape Monaco, Anvers Island and False Bay, Livingston Island, from glacially-derived sediments
Fine glacially-derived sediment samples were collected in 1981 from the Cape Monaco area of Anvers Island and the False Bay area of Livingston Island. The samples were taken down "glacial stream" from the ice fronts of glaciers on both islands. The samples have been sieve separated, run th...
