Rocks from the project “Linking the Aviator and Rennick Glacier Kinematics” (LARK, PNRA18_00338)

During the XXXVII Italian Antarctic expedition (2021/22), 88 rocks have been sampled within the aim of “LARK” 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, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Mount Soza SR 57-58/15, Sequence Hills SS 55-57/8 and Welcome Mountain SS 55-57/4 USGS sheets.
