Salt origin in the Wright Valley, Antarctica
Salt distribution and stable isotope composition of sulfur have been investigated in the upper Wright Valley area, Antarctica. From the discussion on the mass balance of chemical constituents in the Don Juan basin, it is clear that calcium chloride-rich groundwater is an important source for the pon...
