Rocks from the project “Backside of the Transantarctic Mountains" (BACKTAM)
During the XV Italian Antarctic expedition (1999/2000), 213 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the BACKTAM project in Oates Land and George V Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Australian Antarctic Territory - Ross Dependency - Sr57-58, Australian Antarctic Territory - Sq55-56, Australian Antarctic Territory - Sr55-56 and Australian Antarctic Territory - Terre Adelie - Sq53-54 sheets.
