This paper presents the regional distribution and petrographical features of garnet-sillimanite gneisses in the Lutzow-Holm Bay region, East Antarctica. In addition to sillimanite, such aluminous silicate and oxide minerals as kyanite, staurolite, sapphirine and spinel occur in the gneisses. Among t...
