REPORT ON THE POOLS AND SOME PRODUCTS OF WEATHERING AROUND THE PONDS ON THE COAST OF ANTARCTICA

On the coastal region of Antarctica (from 39°E to 49°E) many ponds and pools are found on bare rocks during the summer. Limnological observations of these ponds and pools were carried out in four places. The water is considered to originate in melted snow. The temperature of the surface water ranged...
