Abstract
The monodominant freshwater diatom assemblage was in first established in Quaternary sediments at an altitude of 24 m in the outcrop on the western shore of the Rybiy Khvost Bay in the Bunger Oasis (East Antarctica). The diatom assemblage is dominated by the benthic Navicula shackletoni, characteristic of hypersaline lakes.The diatom assemblage reflects the conditions for the formation of deposits in a shallow lake with high salinity. This diatom assemblage differs from the previously established diatom associations in the Holocene sediments of the freshwater lakes of the Bunger Oasis.
