Rocks from the project “Geological mapping of Victoria Land" (PNRA 2002/4.7)

During the XVIII Italian Antarctic expedition (2002/03), 63 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Geological mapping of Victoria Land" in northern and southern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks and sands. The investigated regions are within Convoy Range ST 57-60/1, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1, Mount Joyce SS 55-57/16, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Reeves Névé SS 55-57/12 and Sequence Hills SS 55-57/8 USGS sheets.
