During the IX Italian Antarctic expedition (1993/94), 1066 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Evolution of the Pacific margin of the East Antarctic craton in the Proterozoic-Early Paleozoic" in northern and southern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Cape Hallett SS 58-60/2, Convoy Range ST 57-60/1, Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Daniels Range SR 57-58/14, Franklin Island ST 57-60/2*, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Mount Soza SR 57-58/15, Relief Inlet SS 58-60/13, Ross Island ST 57-60/6*, Taylor Glacier ST 57-60/5 and Welcome Mountain SS 55-57/4 USGS sheets.

During the XIX and XXI Italian Antarctic expeditions (2003/04, 2005/06), 645 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the INTERTAM project in northern and southern Victoria Land and in central Transantarctic Mountains. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Cape Selborne SU 55-60/2, Carlyon Glacier ST 57-60/13*, Daniels Range SR 57-58/14, Mount Discovery ST 57-60/10, Mount Harmsworth ST 57-60/9, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5, Mount Olympus SU 55-60/1, Ross Island ST 57-60/6*, Sequence Hills SS 55-57/8, Taylor Glacier ST 57-60/5 and Welcome Mountain SS 55-57/4 USGS sheets.
