TheWest Antarctic Rift System is one of the largest continental rifts on Earth. Because theWest Antarctic Ice Sheet mostly covers it, its evolution is still poorly understood. Here we present the first low-temperature thermochronology data from eastern Marie Byrd Land, an area that stretches 1000 km...
