Brief Description (Abstract):

A group of eight nunataks projects out of the polar ice between the Schirmacher hills in the north and the' Gruber massif of Wohl that mountains in south, in the central Queen Maud Land of Antarctica. These nunataks were geologically examined and an attempt has been made to compare and correlate some of their geological aspects with those of the Schirmacher hills, the Gruber massif and the Petermann area.

Status: Completed

Purpose: The Schirmacher hills and the Wohl that mountains are the two main rock exposure areas in the central Queen Maud Land of East Antarctica. These are separated by a vast stretch of polar ice sheet (Fig. 1), almost entirely concealing the bed rock between the above mentioned outcrop areas, except for a few exposures, in the form of several nunataks. They stand out as isolated knolls, individually occupying small areas, the largest (Starheimtind nunatak) being about 10 sq km in area.
