Antarktis-bibliografi er en database over den norske Antarktis-litteraturen.
Hensikten med bibliografien er å synliggjøre norsk antarktisforskning og annen virksomhet/historie i det ekstreme sør. Bibliografien er ikke komplett, spesielt ikke for nyere forskning, men den blir oppdatert.
Norsk er her definert som minst én norsk forfatter, publikasjonssted Norge eller publikasjon som har utspring i norsk forskningsprosjekt.
Antarktis er her definert som alt sør for 60 grader. I tillegg har vi tatt med Bouvetøya.
Det er ingen avgrensing på språk (men det meste av innholdet er på norsk eller engelsk). Eldre norske antarktispublikasjoner (den eldste er fra 1894) er dominert av kvalfangst og ekspedisjoner. I nyere tid er det den internasjonale polarforskninga som dominerer. Bibliografien er tverrfaglig; den dekker både naturvitenskapene, politikk, historie osv. Skjønnlitteratur er også inkludert, men ikke avisartikler eller upublisert materiale.
Til høyre finner du en «HELP-knapp» for informasjon om søkemulighetene i databasen. Mange referanser har lett synlige lenker til fulltekstversjon av det aktuelle dokumentet. For de fleste tidsskriftartiklene er det også lagt inn sammendrag.
Bibliografien er produsert ved Norsk Polarinstitutts bibliotek.

The aim of the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition was to carry out mapping, geological and glaciological investigations of the Kraul Mts. in western Queen Maud Land. The expedition received the assistance of the National Science Foundation in the provision of American equipment and arrangements for logistics. The six member expedition, equipped for 2 1/2 months of field operations was taken by LC-130 Hercules aircraft from McMurdo to the Kraul Mts. where on several sledge journeys, covering 800 km in all, the geology of the mountains was mapped, triangulations made and base measurements taken during Nov. 22, 1968 to Jan. 20, 1969. The geology of the Kraul Mts. is rather monotonous, consisting of amygdaloid basic-to-intermediate lavas in thick, nearly flat-lying beds. An ultrabasic olivine-rich intrusive is dominant in the westernmost part of the mountains. In the east, a small isolated outcrop con sisted of sedimentary rocks in a sequence of about 50 m, containing a fossil Glossopteris flora of Permian Age. All mountains were crossed by dolerite sills and dykes. During work in the mountains, animal and plant life were observed, and some samples were taken. Core drillings were taken at the ice shelf 70 km to the N, for comparison with main basic cores.

Sedimentary and magmatic rocks of Late Proterozoic to Late Paleozoic age, from the southern half of Ellsworth Mountains are described. Basic volcanic rocks, mainly agglomeratic, occur abundantly in the lower part of the succession, in the Minaret Group, and in the lower part of the Heritage Group, but are not recorded in the upper part of the Heritage Group. Due to this lithostratigraphic contrast a new classification is proposed: the Heritage Group including the Middle Horseshoe Formation and the Edson Hills Formation. A stratigraphic gap is evident above the Edson Hills Formation and a separate unit--the Dunbar Ridge Formation--is proposed. This formation is of Middle-Upper Cambrian age, with trilobite-bearing limestones. The structure is governed by a major anticline with a NW plunge in the north but almost horizontal in the south. Contrast of fold intensity and fold style below the youngest exposed unit, the Whiteout Conglomerate and a weathered surface above the Crashite Quartzite suggests a late Paleozoic deformation phase. Two phases of magmatism are distinguished. The pre-Middle Cambrian magmatism is dominantly K-alkalic and suggests the beginning of block subsidence at the early stage of a rift tectonics on a continental crust. The presumptive Late Paleozoic magmatism is N-alkalic and tholeiitic, and occurred after the main deformation; however the rocks were regionally metamorphosed in the actinolite-greenschist facies probably in late Paleozoic time. This magmatism is considered to represent an advanced stage of block tectonics. (Auth. mod.)

An area approximately 130 km long and 10-30 km wide along the inner part of the ice shelf in westernmost Dronning Maud Land is described. The nunataks which rise to a maximum of 1,132 m consist essentially of uniform basalt flows dipping slightly towards the west. These volcanic rocks are cut by an olivine-gabbro intrusion and several dykes and sills of Jurassic dolerite. Almost horizontal Lower Permian Beacon Supergroup sediments were found at one locality, about 20 km from the main range. There is no definite evidence that the volcanic rocks are younger than the Permian sediments; however, the chemical similarity with associated Jurassic dolerites and the general resemblance to Jurassic basalts in adjacent areas suggest that the Vestfjella volcanic rocks are also Jurassic age.
