Abstract

Central Victoria Land is considered here to extend from the Mawson Glacier (76° S) to the Mulock Glacier (79° S), which constitutes the largest ice-free area (6,692 km²) in Antarctica: the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV) (Fig. 8.1). The vegetation, surficial geology, climate, soils, and other resources of the McMurdo Dry Valleys have been studied intensively and summarized by Tedrow and Ugolini (1966) and Campbell and Claridge (1987).
