Sands and rocks from the project “Drone-based acquISition and modelling of morpho-stratigraphic data alonG the TErra Nova Bay (Victoria Land, AntarctIca) coastline” (DISGELI, PNRA19_00107)

During the XXXVIII Italian Antarctic expedition (2022/23), 25 rocks and 50 bags of sands have been sampled within the aim of "DISGELI" project in northern Victoria Land. The rock samples include plutonic, volcanic, metamorphic and igneous rocks and sediments. The investigated regions are within the Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9 USGS sheet.
