Rock samples collected from central Alexander Island, 2004-2005
GB/NERC/BAS/PDC/00597
Abstract:
Rock samples were collected from the northern LeMay Range, southern Douglas Range and the Lully Foothills of Alexander Island during the 2004-2005 field season, and transferred to the Open University (OU) via the British Antarctic Survey. Samples were stored in the OU rock store during preparation for isotopic work.
