Abstract—The contents of ions of basic salt composition (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, \({\text{C}}{{{\text{l}}}^{ - }}{\text{,}}\)\({\text{SO}}_{{\text{4}}}^{{{\text{2}} - }}{\text{,}}\)\({\text{HCO}}_{{\text{3}}}^{ - }\)), dissolved nutrients (Si, P), and trace elements (Li, Rb, Cs, Sr, Ba, B, V, Ge, As, Mo, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Cd, Sb, Tl, Pb, Al, Ga, Ti, Zr, Hf, U, Y, REE) were determined for the first time in the surface and ground waters of Matua Island (Central Kuriles). It was concluded that the chemical composition of the waters was controlled by three main sources: cyclic sea salts, dissolved weathering products of volcanic rocks, and volcanic exhalations. Biological processes played an insignificant role.
