title: Dynamic chemical equilibrium in a polar desert pond: a sensitive index of meteorological cycles.
abstract: The dramatic variation in the composition of a brine pond in Antarctica is a seasonal phenomenon. The phase relations of salts in solution are such that hydrologic conditions and temperature determine composition during the austral summer. Temperature is the primary determinant of composition during the winter.
