-
During the XIII Italian Antarctic expedition (1997/98), 5 tephra layers have been sampled within the aim of the project "Concentration of meteorites: identification, collection, study" in northern Victoria Land. The investigated region is within Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1 USGS sheet.
-
During the XIX Italian Antarctic expedition (2003/04), one tephra layer has been sampled within the aim of the project "Antarctic meteorites" in northern Victoria Land. The investigated region is within Welcome Mountain SS 55-57/4 USGS sheet.
-
During the XV and XVII Italian Antarctic expeditions (1999/2000, 2001/02), 19 rocks have been sampled within the aim of the project "Concentration of meteorites: identification, collection, study" in northern Victoria Land. They include intrusive rocks and tephra. The investigated regions are within Freyberg Mountains SS 58-60/1 and Welcome Mountain SS 55-57/4 USGS sheets.
