Extent of Archaean and Late Proterozoic Rocks under the ice cap of Princess Elizabeth Land, Antarctica, inferred from Geophysics
A helicopter survey has mapped gravity and magnetic anomalies and ice thickness over a 100 km by 100 km ice cap area, inland from coastal outcrops of Archaean and Late Proterozoic rocks of the Princess Elizabeth Land coast. The gravity and magnetic anomalies indicate that there is no major change in crustal structure across the boundary between Archaean and Lake Proterozoic rocks. The Archaean rocks of the Vestfold Hills do not extend further inland, but they may extend under Prydz Bay or as a narrow coastal strip under ice inland from the West Ice Shelf, 150 km to the northeast of the Vestfold Hills. Late Proterozoic rocks probably underlie most of the ice cap along the coast.
