In order to investigate the fate of contaminants accidentally spilt on Antarctic soils, known amounts of lithium chloride were added to soil plots beside Lake Vanda, in the Wright Valley, and close to Scott Base, on Ross Island. The soils were sampled over a three‐year period to trace the movement o...
