Abstract: Based on the analysis of the soil-forming factors, pedogenic processes and the soil properties in the study area, this paper is to propose the soil geographico-genetic classification of maritime-climatic Sub-Antarctic regions. The soils of the Fildes Peninsula were classified into 3 soil-orders, 4 suborders and 13 soil groups, and then the relationship between the soil distribution and the environment was discussed.
Keywords: Antarctica, Fildes Peninsula, soil geographico-genetic classification, diagnostic soil characteristics, environment
