The high-grade metamorphic rocks of Skallevikshalsen, Lutzow-Holm Complex, East Antarctica predominantly comprise garnet-sillimanite gneiss, garnet-spinel-sillimanite gneiss, garnet-biotite gneiss and garnet-two pyroxene-mafic granulite. The metamorphic conditions were estimated using various geothe...
