Abstract

Present study was conducted in water bodies placed at different geographical coordinates viz., Schirmacher Hills and Larsemann Hills in Antarctica. The water bodies situated in Schirmacher Hills revealed the influence of melting glaciers on their hydrological regime during austral summer besides anthropogenic pressure, while, the water bodies situated in Larsemann Hills are under the influence of ingression from sea. Further, the rise in anthropogenic activities has been found to leave a marked impression of degradation in these water bodies. In order to maintain the pristine value of other water bodies attention is invited for reducing the anthropogenic activities in near future.
