Abstract The Pleiades Volcanic Field (PVF) of northern Victoria Land (Antarctica) is made up of a dozen scoria cones whose erupted products present an unusually complete evolutionary trend from alkali-basalt to trachyte. With the aim of reconstructing the evolution of the PVF plumbing system, we hav...
