Rocks from the project “German Italian Geologic Antarctic Map Program" (GIGAMAP)
During the XVI Italian Antarctic expedition (2000/01), 284 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the GIGAMAP project 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, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1, Mount Joyce SS 55-57/16, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Reeves Névé SS 55-57/12, Sequence Hills SS 55-57/8 and Welcome Mountain SS 55-57/4 USGS sheets.
