The chief aim of this preliminary work is to investigate the weathering process of the bed rock and moraine in Antarctic by the method of sedimentology. Microfractures, the depth of which is less than 1 cm, and macrofissures are formed through frost weathering process. The chemical composition of the weathering products are observably related to their size due to migration process. Weathering materials are relatively rich in rare-earth elements of Ce family. Weathering clay minerals are mainly illite hydromica which can considerably absorb the elements of Ti, K, Cs, Rb, Sc, Sb, As and Fe. The weathering crust of the bed rock has hardly any CaCO_3 component, it belongs to primigenial debris weathering crust, with only a slight As pollution.
