BERRY LYONS Byrd Polar Research Center and The Department of Geological Sciences, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210-1002, USA Although the McMurdo Dry Valleys of southern Victoria Land, Ant- arctica (78S) are considered polar deserts, they contain numerous ephemeral streams and ice-covered lakes and ponds produced from sea- sonal glacier melt. The aquatic geochemistry of this region has been of scientific interest since the International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957–58. The first paper describing the unusual chemical composition of the lakes were published in the early 1960s, while the first descriptions of the glaciers and the streams came later (Angino et al., 1962; Angino and Armitage, 1963; Black et al., 1965; Green et al., 1988). Much has been learned over this interval. For example, we now understand that the large differences in salinity and ionic composition of the lakes are related, in part, to how the lakes have responded to climatic changes through the Holocene. Chemical variations among streams are due, in part, to their geomorphological differences, the amount of water–rock interactions within
