Geochemical Study of the Formation Process for the Saline Lakes in the Dry Valleys, South Victoria Land, Antarctica

A simple model is proposed for the present chemical composition of the saline lakes in the Dry Valleys. A diluted water of sea salt whose compositional ratio was that of sea water was concentrated by evaporation to the present chlorinity. During the concentration process, a part of Na^+ and K^+ repl...
