Abstract
The cold desert soil has been discovered at first time in southern ridge of Mount Harding, Grove Mountains of interior East Antarctica Ice Sheet. Based on the micro structural observation, dominant characteristics of quarts grains include: distinct surface stria and fractures, and clean features of frost action at both of crystal margins and micro crannies of quarts grains. These features show a pedogenesis environment of few water, short transportation and frost action, revealing a warmer climatic event existed in this region.
