摘要：

Miniature sorted patterned ground features (nets and stripes) occur at an elevation of ca. 35 m in the L'Antioja valley, East Falkland. The features have developed following recent soil erosion and display many of the characteristics associated with the operation of frost-related processes in regolith materials. The patterns are currently active and indicate that in cool oceanic climates the distribution of frost-sorted patterns is controlled by the presence of bare ground on suitable regolith rather than by altitude.
