Understanding the tectonic framework of the Antarctic Peninsula is hindered by a paucity of paleomagnetic data from key locations. In this study, we present paleomagnetic data from the South Shetland Islands, to the northwest of the Antarctic Peninsula, which provides valuable paleoposition constrai...
