Rocks from the project “Role of Cenozoic tectonic and glacial events in the landscape evolution of the Victoria Land region"

During the XVII Italian Antarctic expedition (2001/02), 61 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Role of Cenozoic tectonic and glacial events in the landscape evolution of the Victoria Land region" in northern Victoria Land. They include subvolcanic and metamorphic rocks. The investigated regions are within Cape Adare SR 59-60/13*, Cape Hallett SS 58-60/2, Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1 and Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5 USGS sheets.
