The Precambrian basement of the Schirmacher Hills, Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica has evolved through multiple episodes of deformation and metamorphism. The rocks have suffered at least five phases of deformation. The imprint of the early deformation, D 1 , is preserved in some mafic isolated encl...
