The aim and objectives of the WAVE programme are to understand better the volcanology of the late Cenozoic Volcanic Province of West Antarctica, to document in detail the chronology of individual volcanoes and to elucidate the petrogenesis of the magmas and their sources. In addition, xenoliths carried to the surface by volcanic processes would be used to reconstruct sections through the lithosphere.
