Rocks from the project “Wilkes Basin/Transantarctic Mountains System Exploration" (WISE, PNRA 2004/3.2)

During the XXI Italian Antarctic expedition (2005/06), 139 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the WISE project in northern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic and metamorphic rocks. The investigated regions are within Cape Hallett SS 58-60/2, Daniels Range SR 57-58/14, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1, Mount Soza SR 57-58/15, Ob' Bay SR 57-58/11 and Pomerantz Tableland SR 57-58/10 USGS sheets.
