Abstract: Nine horizon samples of three soil profiles representative of Dystri-gelic Cambisol, Fibri-gelic Histosoland Relic Ornithosol were taken from Fildes Peninsula of King George Island, Antarctica, to quantitativelydemonstrate the enrichment, migration and loss of the elements （Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, Mn, K, Na and P） insoil horizons and their behaviours within profiles by application of the concept of the enrichment coefficientcalculated in terms of the abundance of Ti. Besides, six horizon samples of 4 other profiles randomly takenfrom the studied area were examined for calculation of the redistributing enrichment coefficient, which wasapplied for a better understanding of the element redistribution between soil and clay fraction along with soildevelopment. The results showed that the enrichment, migration and redistribution of the elements variedstrongly among the investigated soils and horizons, due to the differences of weathering degrees and moisturestatus, influences of sea bird activities, etc.
