The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) are often regarded as the uplifted flank of the West Antarctic Rift System (WARS). The TAM are, however, higher, longer and wider compared to other rift flanks. Unravelling the processes responsible for these unique characteristics, requires an improved knowledge o...
