Aims

The objectives of the 1992/93 season for the K-048 party were to collect xenoliths from a number of key localities in the vicinity of Ross Island and the foothills of the Transantarctic Mountains. The localities had all been visited previously by Gamble (1982/82, 83/84,84/85 seasons) but sample sets were incomplete as the visits (in some cases) were helicopter supported and of short duration. The aim therefore, was to add to and expand our xenolith collections so that we could begin to make meaningful comparisons with the extensive collections made in West Antarctica (Marie Byrd Land) as part of the WAVE project (field seasons 1989/90; 90/91).
