Charnockitic rocks from Mirnyy Station have yielded a paleomagnetic pole at 1.5°S, 28.5°E with a 95% confidence oval whose semi-axes are 8° and 16°. The rubidium-strontium isotopic date for these rocks is 502 ± 24 my ( = 1.47 × 10 -11 yr -1 ) with an intercept of the total rock isochron line on the 87 Sr/ 86 Sr axis of 0.7194 ± 0.0007. These results support a reconstruction of Gondwanaland in which the Antarctic Peninsula is closely connected with southern South America.
