Low temperature thermochronology data from the Transantarctica Mountains

The southernmost large outlet glacier through the TAM is the seldom-visited Reedy Glacier. The Ford Nunataks are situated within the Transantarctic Mountain Front (TMF) on the eastern side of the Reedy Glacier lying between the dramatic escarpment (~2500 m relief) of the Wisconsin Range and the down-dropped basins of the West Antarctic Rift System (WARS).

This work represents part of a series of studies along the TAM documenting the denudation history in order to constrain the tectonic evolution of the TAM and WARS. This data set comprises low temperature thermochronology data from the Transantarctic Mountains. Specifically, apatite fission track ages and track length information from samples collected at a number of localities along the Transantarctic Mountains.
