Abstract: Considerable controversy exists over whether or not extensive glaciation occurred during the global Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in the Larsemann Hills. In this study we use the in situ produced cosmogenic nuclide 10 Be (half life 1.51 Ma) to provide minimum exposure ages for six bedrock sam...
