The heavy mineral assemblages of the Lower Pliocene to Quaternary glacial sediments of the CIROS-2 drill site, situated near the mouth of Ferrar Glacier on the McMurdo Sound shelf, Antarctica, were analysed by optical means in order to reconstruct the source areas and dynamics of the late Cenozoic A...
