520 3# ‡aGreater availability of moisture in maritime, in contrast to continental, Antarctic has significant effect on weathering. Data are presented on processes of mechanical weathering, with emphasis on freeze-thaw, from Signy Island. Shows interrelationship of these processes and demonstrates manner in which factors controlling freeze-thaw can exert influence on other processes. Attempt is made to integrate combination of field and simulation data to deduce freeze-thaw mechansim causing rock breakdown. Shows that, compared to continent, maritime weathering rates are slow.
