Abstract
The salt weathering and frost heaving processes leading to the disintegration of granite bedrock in the Taylor Dry Valley, South Victoria Land, Antarctica, have been investigated. The weathering appears to be mainly physical with only relatively small amounts of chemical weathering taking placeKeywords
