The Wilkes Subglacial Basin, in the hinterland of the Transantarctic Mountains, represents one of the least understood continental-scale features in Antarctica. Aeromagnetic data suggests this basin may be imposed on a Ross age back arc region adjacent to the East Antarctic Craton. However, the evol...
