Abstract In the Shackleton Range of East Antarctica, garnet‐bearing ultramafic rocks occur as lenses in supracrustal high‐grade gneisses. In the presence of olivine, garnet is an unmistakable indicator of eclogite facies metamorphic conditions. The eclogite facies assemblages are only present in ult...
