Locality type:
Seymour Island is an island in the chain of 16 major islands around the tip of the Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula. Graham Land is the closest part of Antarctica to South America.[2] It lies within the section of the island chain that resides off the west side of the peninsula's northernmost tip. Within that section, it is separated from Snow Hill Island by Picnic Passage and sits just east of the larger key, James Ross Island, and its smaller, neighboring island, Vega Island.
Seymour Island is sometimes called Marambio Island or Seymour-Marambio Island, taking its resident Argentine base as its namesake. [Wikipedia]
Eastern side of the peninsula. Minerals in the weathering zone of Tertiary sands with beds of sulfide-bearing clays; acid sulfate drainage. The sand also contains carbonate concretions and shells. Halite and aragonite (and ferrihydrite) are found within Cretaceous silty sands (devoid of sulfides).
