Description
Could it be Dune CK or Victoria River? LTER has a description of Victoria River, but not Dune Creek. Victoria River is in the Vida basin in the Victoria Valley. It drains the Upper Victoria Glacier and the unnamed lake just below the glacier. It flows into the west end of Lake Vida.
Environmental data
Hydrological, biological, chemical, and physical property measurements have been made for a number of McMurdo Dry Valley streams and lakes.
