Contents Notes Soils of Antarctica: History and Challenges -- Soil-forming Factors in Antarctica -- Soils of Queen Maud Land -- Soils of Enderby Land -- Soils of MacRobertson Land -- Soils of Wilkes Land -- Soils of North Victoria Land (Northern Transantarctic Mountains) -- Soils of Central Victoria Land -- Soils of Southern Victoria Land, the Transantarctic Mountains. This book divides Antarctica into eight ice-free regions and provides information on the soils of each region. Soils have been studied in Antarctica for nearly 100 years. Although only 0.35% (45,000 km2) of Antarctica is ice-free, its weathered, unconsolidated material qualify as "soils." Soils of Antarctica is richly illustrated with nearly 150 images and provisional maps are provided for several key ice-free areas.
