Palaeomagnetic Studies In Western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica

Sampling for palaeomagnetic purposes has been undertaken in the western part of Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. The study area comprises three mountain ranges bounded by latitudes 72° S to 73° S and longitudes 4° W to 2° E (Fig 1). The fieldwork has been completed over three consecutive summer seasons starting in 1986/87. A total of 170 sites have been sampled covering most of the rock types in the two primary geological terrains.
