Early Miocene Subglacial Basalts, the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, and Uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains

Subglacially erupted volcanic rocks from Mount Early and Sheridan Bluff, Antarctica, yield whole-rock potassium-argon dates and argon-40/argon-39 release spectra of Early Miocene age. Field associations suggest the existence of the East Antarctic ice sheet and significant uplift of the Transantarcti...
