Abstract: This paper deals with the mass movement processes on the Fildes Peninsula, King George Island. Based on numerous field investigation, the authors consider that the slope mass movement and periglacial form on the peninsula have an internal relationship in genesis, reflecting in there main aspects. 1, All patterns of mass movement are developed on the slope surface; 2. different - order mass movement and periglacial type show their space - time distribution rules (their development stages); 3. The slope mass movement are developed from the periglacio - geomorphic processes. More detailed works have been done, such as fixed repeated surveying whose results are concord and with the typical characteristics above mentioned very well.
Key words: Mass movement, Great Wall Station, Antarctica.
