The petrology of peridotite xenoliths in the Cenozoic volcanics from Greene Point (Northern Victoria Land, Antarctica) provides newconstraints on the characterisation of the lithospheric mantle beneath theWest Antarctic Rift. Based on mineral major and trace element models, this mantle domain is pro...
