From January until March 2007 british geologists were carrying out field work in their second field season on James Ross Island near the Antarctic Peninsula. Their objective was to study sedimentary rocks from the Neogene period (between 2 and 24 million years old). These rocks originated during a time when climatic conditions were similar to those projected for the future.
