Description	James Ross Island (JRI) (64°10'S, 57°45'W), located 15 km east of the Antarctic Peninsula in the north-western part ofWeddell Sea, is a volcanic island with more than 50 recorded eruptions of alkaline basalts over the last 6 Ma. The aim of our study is to determine the content of heavy metals associated with basaltic volcanic eruptions: Cr, Ni, and Co in lake sediments and regolith of deglaciated area of JRI, and, in a broader perspective, to contribute to the model of heavy metals mobility in the Antarctic ecosystem.
