Abstract

This chapter describes the soils of Queen Maud Land (QML). This is the part of Antarctica between longitudes 20° W and 45° E. QML is the fourth largest ice-free territory of Antarctica, comprising 3,400 km2 (6.9 % of total ice-free area). The most studied areas of QML in terms of soils include the Sør Rondane Mountains and Schirmacher Oasis (35 km2). QML is underlain by continuous permafrost. The mountains are underlain by thick permafrost; and active layer ranges from 8 to 40 cm in depth to from 30 to 120 cm in depth in the Schirmacher Oasis. The dominant soil taxa include Typic Haploturbels-Haplorthels and Lithic Haploturbels-Haplorthels under moss cover, Typic Aquorthels Haplorthels in soils along lake margins and those influenced by algae, Typic Haploturbels in areas of patterned ground, Typic Haplorthels in dry areas, and Typic and Lithic Anhyorthels-Anhyturbels in the mountains. Soils of Queen Maud Land are less developed than those elsewhere in East Antarctica because they are more distant from the coast and have not been influenced by penguins and other birds.
