Cenozoic volcanic rocks in the Fildes Peninsula are composed of High-Al basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite, and dacite belonging to a calc-alkaline volcanic series with low-K and high-Al characteristics. Using a new indicator, the Sr / Ca-Ba / Ca, systematics proposed by Onuma (1989,1981) and Sr, B...
