Determination of major element chemistry in terrestrial waters from Antarctica by ion chromatography Abstract As part of the new Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, a systematic aqueous geochemical sampling program has been undertaken. A series of terrestrial water samples have been collected and analyzed for major ion chemistry by ion chromatography. The concentrations of ions cover a wide range of total dissolved solids (TDS) from relatively pristine glacier ice to hypersaline lake waters. Some of the challenges which are encountered while trying to collect and analyze samples covering a wide range of concentrations in such a hostile environment are discussed?

Introduction The McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV) of south- ern Victoria Land, Antarctica, are located in the western coast of the most extreme deserts in the world, and a precipitation rate of ca. 10exists in these valleys resulting fromThese aquatic systems include veryRoss Sea at 77°S? These valleys are among the having a mean average temperature of ca. -17°C cm per year [1,2]. However, an aquatic system shor located in the western coast of the most extreme deserts in the world, and a precipitation rate of ca. 10 exists in these valleys resulting from These aquatic systems include very dilute snow/ice, ephemeral streams and fresh to brackish to hypersaline akes? The lakes are perennially ice-covered. Since the International Geophysical Year(IGY) of 195 many investigations have studied the chemistry and ecology of the aquatic systems of the MDV. Major ion chemistry has previously been used as a tool to investigate geochemical processes which are occurring in this region today, and also to investigate the geochemical evolution of this region [3-5]. Previous work has evaluated either individual lake chemistry and/ or determined the geochemical fluxes of certain elements from stream(s) into lake(s)? A
