Abstract:

 Soil samples around Great Wall Station were sampled to analyse their contents and distribution characteristics. Comparison of soil heavy metal between this result and previous research results in the past 20 years showed that eight different heavy metals had appeared enrichment trend. Through comprehensive analyses, the movement of automobiles including emission, gasoline leakage etc. may be one of the main reasons of metal richment. So more effective management of all the mans activities at Antarctica are necessary.

Key words: Antarctica, Great Wall Station, environment, heavy metal
