Rocks from the project “Geodynamics and Ice Dynamics in the East Antarctica” (G-IDEA, PNRA16_00056)

During the XXXIV Italian Antarctic expedition (2018/19), 16 rocks have been sampled within the aim of “G-IDEA” project in northern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Daniels Range SR 57-58/14, Mount Soza SR 57-58/15, Ob' Bay SR 57-58/11 and Pomerantz Tableland SR 57-58/10 USGS sheets.
