Crustal Structure beneath the Northern Transantarctic Mountains and Wilkes Subglacial Basin: Implications for Tectonic Origins

Key Points: New crustal constraints beneath the northern Transantarctic Mountains (TAMs). Crust thickens from ~20 km near the coast to ~41 km inland. Locally thicker crust may explain additional topography in the northern TAMs.
