  Let $f(\bf z,\bar{\bf z})$ be a mixed polynomial with strongly non-degenerate
face functions. We consider a canonical toric modification $\pi:\,X\to \Bbb
C^n$ and a polar modification $\pi_{\Bbb R}:Y\to X$. We will show that the
toric modification resolves topologically the singularity of $V$ and the zeta
function of the Milnor fibration of $f$ is described by a formula of a
Varchenko type.
