Vestfold Hills
The Vestfold Hills are rounded, rocky, coastal hills, in extent, on the north side of Sorsdal Glacier on the Ingrid Christensen Coast of Princess Elizabeth Land, Antarctica. The hills are subdivided by three west-trending peninsulas bounded by narrow fjords. Most of the hills range between in height, with the highest summit reaching nearly .
==Geography==
The Vestfold Hills are largely snow and ice-free and are thus classified as an Antarctic oasis. They contain a great variety of lake systems with over 300 lakes and ponds〔Swadling, K.M. et. al Fossil Rotifers and the Early Colonization of an Antarctic Lake. Quaternary Research 55, 380–384 (2001)〕 including what is possibly the largest concentration of meromictic (stratified) lakes in the world.〔Gibson, John A.E.; The meromictic lakes and stratified marine basins of the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica. Antarctic Science 11(2), 175-92 (1999)〕 This region contains 37 permanently stratified water bodies,〔Cavicchioli, Ricardo. Cold-adapted archaea. Nature Reviews Microbiology 4, 319-43 (2006)〕 including six marine basins and seven seasonally isolated marine basins (SIMBs). These stratified basins also have great variety. They range in salinity from 4 g L−1 to 235 g L−1, in temperature from , in depth from , in area from and surface level from below to above sea level.〔Gibson, John A.E.; The meromictic lakes and stratified marine basins of the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica. Antarctic Science 11(2), 175-92 (1999)〕 The region contains a large lake as well.
