This study compares the relations between solar radiation and air and ground temperatures in the Quartermain Mountains of the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica with those in ice‐free Victoria Land and Arctic Canada. The surface offset is near 0°C at all sites in the Quartermain Mountains and other s...
