Book Synopsis Volcanism in Antarctica by : J. L. Smellie
Book excerpt: This memoir reviews all of Antarctica's volcanism between 200 million years ago and the present. The region is still volcanically active. The volume is an amalgamation of in-depth syntheses, which are presented within distinctly different tectonic settings. Each is described in terms of (1) the volcanology and eruptive palaeoenvironments; (2) petrology and origin of magma; and (3) active volcanism, including tephrochronology.
