  • 1. Cenozoic Glaciation of the Rennick Glacier Area, the Everett Range and Yule Bay Area, North Victoria Land, Antarctica
    Polarforschung 60 (2): 73-77, 1990 (erschienen 1992) 1. Cenozoic Glaciation of the Rennick Glacier Area, the Everett Range and Yule Bay Area, North Victoria Land, Antarctica By Frederik M,van der Wateren* & Anja L.L.M. Verbcrs" During GANOVEX VI (1990/91) we have investigated a large part of the drainage area of the Rennick Glacier, the Everett Range and Yule Bay area (Fig. 1). Data gathered during GANOVEX IV and V (HÖFLE 1989, VAN DER WATEREN & VERBERS 1990) show that this part of the Transantarctic Mountains has been covered by the East Antarctic ice sheet during the Late Pliocene. Our investigations concentrate on the relation between Cenozoic mountain uplift and the glacial history of the area. The results from glacial geologic research during GANOVEX V and GANOVEX VI (VAN DER WATEREN & VERBERS 1990, 1991, JORDAN & VAN DER WATEREN in press) support our view that the methods we employ may be beneficial to models of ice sheet volume variation due to climatic change as weil as to tectonic models of the Transantarctic Mountains. We expect that our work may give a better indication of the latest high uplift rates in the area than can be gained by fission track analysis alone. On the other hand we expect to set limits to the amount of ice surface lowering since the Late Pliocene. Two alternative seenarios have been proposed explaining the overriding of the Transantarctic Mountains. One, more or less ignoring tectonic uplift, postulates ice thickness fluctuation of the East Antarctic ice sheet in the order of 1000 m or more, several tirnes during the Tcrtiary (e.g.
