During the XVII Italian Antarctic expedition (2001/02), 61 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Role of Cenozoic tectonic and glacial events in the landscape evolution of the Victoria Land region" in northern Victoria Land. They include subvolcanic and metamorphic rocks. The investigated regions are within Cape Adare SR 59-60/13*, Cape Hallett SS 58-60/2, Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1 and Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5 USGS sheets.

During the V Italian Antarctic expedition (1989/90), 657 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Regional geology, geological survey and remote sensing" in northern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The investigated regions are within Cape Hallett SS 58-60/2, Coulman Island SS 58-60/6, Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1, Mount Melbourne SS 58-60/9, Mount Murchison SS 58-60/5 and Sequence Hills SS 55-57/8 USGS sheets.

During the IV Italian Antarctic expedition (1988/89), 1166 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Petrology, geochemistry and metallogenesis of igneous and metamorphic basement" in northern Victoria Land. They include intrusive, subvolcanic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
