Abstract The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) are one of Earth's great mountain belts and
are a fundamental physiographic feature of Antarctica. They are continental-scale, traverse a …

Hotspots include midplate features like Hawaii and on-axis features like Iceland. Mantle
plumes are a well-posed hypothesis for their formation. Starting plume heads provide an …

Satellite remote sensing imagery is especially useful for geological investigations in
Antarctica because of its remoteness and extreme environmental conditions that constrain …

The upper mantle and transition zone beneath Antarctica and the surrounding oceans are
among the poorest‐imaged regions of the Earth's interior. Over the last 15 years, several …

Common geological, geochemical, and geophysical characteristics of continental fragments
of East Gondwana and adjacent oceanic lithosphere define a long‐lived, low‐volume …

Continental intraplate volcanoes, such as Erebus volcano, Antarctica, are associated with
extensional tectonics, mantle upwelling and high heat flow. Typically, erupted magmas are …

This paper presents field, geochemical and isotopic (Sr, Nd, Pb) results on basalts from the
Antipodes, Campbell and Chatham Islands, New Zealand. New 40Ar/39Ar age …

The Wilkes Subglacial Basin represents an approximately 1400 km-long and up to 600 km
wide subglacial depression, buried beneath the over 3 km-thick East Antarctic Ice Sheet …

Tomographic analysis of seismic surface waves can map upper mantle structure under the
Antarctic plate with reliability and fairly good detail, making the best use of the relatively …

The Antarctic is unique, geographically, politically, and scientifically. It is the most remote,
hostile, and dangerous continent, while at the same time it is the most pristine and least …
