The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) are an imposing topographic feature, forming the western shoulder of the Meso-Cenozoic West Antarctic Rift System. Although the TAM topography is similar to other continental rifts, some aspects such as the high topography and the transition in the mode of crustal...
