Rocks from the project “Completion of the geological cartography in Victoria Land and integration of the cartographic material into a digital dataset" (PNRA16_00263)

During the XXXIII and XXXIV Italian Antarctic expeditions (2017/18, 2018/19), 258 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Completion of the geological cartography in Victoria Land and integration of the cartographic material into a digital dataset" in northern and southern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Convoy Range ST 57-60/1, Franklin Island ST 57-60/2* and Mount Joyce SS 55-57/16 USGS sheets.
