Rocks from the project “Antarctic Drilling Project" (ANDRILL)

During the XXII Italian Antarctic expedition (2006/07), 33 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the ANDRILL project in southern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Ross Island ST 57-60/6* sheet.
