Abstract
From the time of its discovery until the latter years of the nineteenth century Antarctica remained aterra incognitato the geologist, but in the early years of this century the Falkland Islands Dependencies attracted some academic interest, particularly from geologists. Undoubtedly this was mainly due to the fact that the Dependencies occupy one of the more accessible parts of the Antarctic continent and also bear a close geological relationship to South America.Keywords
