Figure 3. Model for the uplift history of the Transantarctic Mountains based on a vertical sampling profile from the eastern end of the Kukri Hills, southern Victoria Land, and including a sample of basement gneiss from the CIROS 2 drillhole. The 'break in slope' in the graph at about 50 Ma marks the start of uplift of the mountains, giving an average uplift rate since that time of approximately 100 m/Ma. Errors plotted for the apatite ages are two standard deviations, for the elevations ±10 m
