A regional chemical boundary termed the ‘salt line ’,in the Vestfold Hills of East Antarctica, was investigated using X-ray diffraction and electron probe analyses of surficial salts, and conductivity of surficial sediments. West of the salt line, halite and thenardite are abundant.

Three ice dams in southeastern Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica, dam a system of five lakes periodically, impounding more than ~1.5 x 106 m3 of water. Dam #a impounds 1.1 x 106 m3 of water, while dams #b and #c prevent the free drainage of the lake below Dam #a, and impound the remaining 0.
