  Dronning Maud Land - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dronning Maud Land (or Queen Maud Land) is the part of Antarctica lying between the terminus of Stancomb-Wills Glacier, at 20°W, and Shinnan Glacier, at 44° 38'E, with a land area of approximately 2,500,000 km², mostly covered by the Antarctic ice sheet.
This territory was claimed by Norway on January 14, 1939, but this claim, like all others in the Antarctic, is not universally recognized and the area is subject to the terms of the Antarctic Treaty.
Dronning Maud Land was named by Roald Amundsen in honour of Queen Maud of Norway.

 DRONNING MAUD LAND
Dronning Maud Land (20°W - 45°E) whose name was given for Queen Maud of Norway when the Norwegian Captain Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen discovered it in 1930, is without doubt one of the Jewels in the Crown of the Antarctic "Far Side".
No less awe-inspiring is Dronning Maud Land's more than 3000 km -long coastline, where the striking unbroken white wall of the "barrier" presented by the seaward edge of immensely-thick, floating ice-shelves, mark the birthplace of enormous tabular icebergs.
The Schirmacher Oasis (70°46'S; 011°50'E) of central Dronning Maud Land is an Antarctic desert oasis comprising a low lying ~ 50 km² area of undulating ice-free hills interspersed with a number of glacial lakes.

The continental crust of western Dronning Maud Land was thermally rejuvenated by thermal blanketing of Jurassic basalts at ~180, Ma until the Lower Cretaceous (~140 Ma) before the lava pile was eroded again.
The sedimentation on the marine plateau of western Dronning Maud Land is charaterized by 2000 m of sediments deposited at rates of >60 m/Ma during the Upper Jurassic.
The fact that Proterozoic basement at Heimefrontfjella, western Dronning Maud Land, is unconformably overlain by a maximum thickness of 160 m of Beacon supergroup sedimentary rocks and Jurassic lava flows indicates that the basement cooled to surface temperatures during the Palaeozoic.

The crust of central Dronning Maud Land is composed of late Mesoproterozoic metavolcanic and metasedimentary rock sequences which experienced Grenville deformation and metamorphism.
Additionally, during the Pan-African events (600-500 Ma) the metamorphic crust in central Dronning Maud Land was intruded by a huge amount of igneous rock as discordant plutons ranging in composition from anorthosite to granite/syenite, some of which may now be metaplutonic rocks.
The mountains and nunataks of central Dronning Maud Land (cDML) were discovered by the air-borne German Schwabenland expedition in 1939.

A mass-balance programme was initiated on Jutulstraumen ice stream, western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, during the austral summer 1992-93.
As a part of the mass-balance programme, accumulation rate was measured along the centre line of Jutulstraumen from the shelf edge up to the plateau at about 2500 m a.s.l.
The large variation in accumulation is important when selecting new core sites and for interpretation of temporal and spatial variations in accumulation derived from firn cores.

With the planned European Program for Ice Coring in Antarctica in Dronning Maud Land it is important to understand the processes leading to accumulation for successful interpretation of core data.
Because it is impractical to obtain precipitation observations with a large spatial coverage and on a daily timescale in Antarctica, model-generated precipitation must be considered for a comprehensive study of the region.

The influences of seasonal variations in temperature and pressure and the variation in accumulation rate were studied and are not negligible, but appear to cancel each other out if all variability is taken into account.
