The Ellsworth-Whitmore Mountains (EWM) are one of five terranes that form West Antarctica. Constraining the positions of these terranes in pre-break up Gondwana is crucial to understanding the history of the palaco-Pacific Gondwana margin. We report the results of a detailed palaeomagnetic investiga...
