Detrital apatite fission-track data combined with provenance analysis of gravel-fraction detritus are used in this study to investigate the Neogene exhumation of the West Antarctic Rift System. Samples have been collected from the upper 1000 m of the ANDRILL AND-2A drill core, which documents the Mi...
