Abstract

Reports the recognition of soils in the Mesters Vig district of Scoresby Land as being Arctic Brown soils corresponding to those identified in Alaska and USSR. The zonal distribution of this soil group is thus believed established. The favorable and limiting conditions of the soils are described, and the effects upon them of frost processes noted.
