This paper addresses the Jurassic–Cretaceous stratigraphic evolution of fore-arc deposits exposed along the west coast of the northern Antarctic Peninsula. In the South Shetland Islands, Upper Jurassic deepmarine sediments are uncomformably overlain by a Lower Cretaceous volcaniclastic sequence that...
