Résumé : A sample of melted firn from New Byrd Station (80°S, 119°W), Antarctica, was analysed for Na, Mg, K and Ca by atomic absorption, and Na and Cl by neutron activation. The results are (in ppb): Cl 57 ± 10; Na 23 ± 2; Mg 2.5 ± 0.3; K 1.0 ± 0.2; and Ca 1.8 ±04. These values are in excellent agreement with those of other investigators. A marine contribution seems to be predominant. © 1970.
