The Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains (GSM) comprise a central terrane flanked by rifts. Their ages and composition are indicated by material shed downslope in the Lambert Rift during the Ediacaran, Permian–Triassic, and Cenozoic. Direct evidence is provided by morainal clasts of undated igneous/metam...
