A model involving repeated NNW-directed ductile thrusting in subduction complex rocks on Signy Island. South Orkney Islands, accounts for the consistent NNW-trending alignment of fold axes, stretching and shearing directions. In the absence of major discrete thrust planes, stratigraphic control or y...
