A review of northern Victoria Land ultramafic xenoliths, collected and studied over more than thirty years, was carried out. More than 200 samples were gathered and characterised in a coherent and comparative manner, both for mantle-derived and cumulate xenoliths. Almost 2,000 analyses of major elem...
