The sulfur stable isotopic values (S-34) of sulfate aerosols can be used to assess oxidation pathways and contributions from various sources, such as marine biogenic sulfur, volcanoes, and sea salt. However, because of a lack of observations, the spatial distribution of S-34 values in Antarctic sulfate aerosols remains unclear. Here we present the first sulfur isotopic values from surface snow samples along a latitudinal transect in eastern Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. The S-34 values of sulfate showed remarkably uniform values, in the range of 14.8-16.9, and no significant decrease toward the inland part of the transect was noted. These results suggest that net isotopic fractionation during long-range transport is insignificant. Thus, the S-34 values can be used to infer source contributions. The S-34 values suggest that marine biogenic sulfur is the dominant source of sulfate aerosols, with a fractional contribution of 8416%.
