		A glacial geology for the Transantarctic Mountains is determined, based on a comparison of glacial deposits in the Queen Maud Mountains and along the nunataks at the heads of the ice-free valleys of southern Victoria Land with deposits studied by other workers in southern Victoria Land.
		B.P. The deposit used to define the Queen Maud Glaciation is the Sirius Formation which is composed of two members: (1) lodgement till and (2) stratified ice-contact deposits.
		This formation is distinguished and interpreted by the investigation of the elevation of outcrop, underlying striae and grooes, structure, fabric of elongate clasts, particle size distribution, lithologic and mineralogic components, and rounding and freshness of contained clasts.

	Plate Tectonics
		In 1908 F. B.Taylor and H. Baker noted that mountain belts tend to be arcuate and occur on the edges of continents.
		They also made correlations between mountain belts that are separated by great distances today, suggesting that their present positions could be due to motion of the continents.
		Looking at just Paleozoic coals, however, we see them at many different latitudes, including Antarctica's Queen Maud Mountains at 85º S and on the island of Spitzbergen (Svalbard) at more than 70º N. When the position of the other climatically-determined Paleozoic sedimentary rocks are investigated they produce a similar chaotic disarray.

		In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the mountains also had their significance, not as the dwelling place of the Almighty, but as the place where Man came into contact with Him.
		Yet when we first came to the mountain world of Queen Maud Land, I felt that we still had a remnant of reverence and awe.
		In Queen Maud Land, which is just about as far away as you can get, it is easy to think about incomprehensible things, the land still belongs to the realm of dreams.

	Antarctic Explorers: Richard E. Byrd & the Second Byrd Antarctic Expedition
		There were four primary objectives concerning geographical exploration: the delineation of as much as possible of the coastline of Marie Byrd Land; additional research in the Ford Ranges; determination of an ice-filled strait connecting the Ross Sea with the Weddell Sea; determination of the extent of the Queen Maud Mountains beyond the Ross Ice Shelf.
		Originally, intentions were to establish the base on the Polar plateau or the foot of the Queen Maud Mountains.
		A geological party of three men and two dog teams was to explore the Queen Maud Mountains to the east of Supporting Party Mountain at 85°27'S, 147°33'W, the easternmost point reached by the geological party of the First Byrd Antarctic Expedition.

	Jagged Mountain Peaks - by travel authority Howard Hillman
		Some peaks - like those of the Jagged Mountains in Queen Maud's Land - sharply jut upwards out of the surrounding polar ice cap for heights surpassing those of the world's tallest buildings.
		Other popular climbable mountains on the continent include the Vinson Massif (Antarctica's tallest), Troll Castle, Mount Shinn, Mount Scott, and Mount Francais.
		The latter two mountains are relatively easy to reach by boat because they are located near, respectively, the Lamaire Channel and the Neumayer Channel on the Antarctica Peninsula.

		Our 14-member research team is composed primarily of scientists and support staff from Penn State University, Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Alabama, and PASSCAL (at New Mexico Tech).
		In a nutshell, the trans-Antarctic Mountains are the only major mountain range in the world not caused by the collision of two plates, and the question is: why?
		By interpreting the seismic waves that these sensors detect, we hope to better understand how these mountains formed, and why the tectonic plate here - punctuated by the mountains - appears to be stretching.

		Appearing when and where Dunkelzahn said it would in his Will, massive amounts of orichalcum appeared on this island during the Year of the Comet, much of which was subsequently mined by Wuxing and DeBeers before those two squatters were chased off.
		Antarctica is notable because not all of the orichlacum was found in the earth, but rather packed in the ice.
		Saeder-Krupp purchased mining claims throughout the Eifel Mountains before the Year of the Comet, and began mining orichalcum in those claims in 2061.
