Resumen:
Lakes from a group of islands located in the NE Antarctic Peninsula were studied. The
hydrological systems were developed on different periglacial environments, after ice cap
retreat during the Holocene. Geochemical, hydrological, sedimentological, magnetic and
biological studies were held to identify particular characteristics on each island. Based on an
integrated analysis, significant statistical differences between lakes are observed. These
differences can be attributed to particular characteristics of each lake?s catchments and
environment, and processes (diagenetic, biological, geochemical, etc.) that could take place.
The present study will contribute to a better understanding of Antarctic lake systems from a
multidisciplinary approach.
