Soil Taxonomy or World Reference Base: how to classify Antarctic soils?
Only 0.35% of Antarctica is ice-free. More than half of this territory – about 53% is located in the Transantarctic Mountains and, in particular, the Pensacola Mountains. About 20% – in the Antarctic Peninsula and the surrounding islands, 11%, and 7% can be found in the Mac-Robertson Land and by Que...
