The East Antarctic Shield or Craton is a cratonic rock body that covers 10.2 million square kilometers or roughly 73% of the continent of Antarctica. [1] The shield is almost entirely buried by the East Antarctic Ice Sheet that has an average thickness of 2200 meters but reaches up to 4700 meters in some locations.
Mount Siple (/ ˈ s aɪ p ə l / SIGH-p'l) [5] is a potentially active Antarctic shield volcano, rising to 3,162 metres (10,374 ft) and dominating the northwest part of Siple Island, which is separated from the Bakutis Coast, Marie Byrd Land, by the Getz Ice Shelf. [6]

The Angaran Shield, as it is sometimes called, is bounded by the Yenisey River on the west, the Lena River on the east, the Arctic Ocean on the north, and Lake Baikal on ...
Two recent deep seismic surveys were carried out on the continental ice-sheet of the Lützow-Holm Complex in 2000 and 2002. The two surveys were carried out as a program of the “Structure and Evolution of the East Antarctic Lithosphere” (SEAL) by the Japanese Antarctic expeditions. Crustal velocity models and simple reflection sections were ...
[1] [2] It is a massive, mainly snow-covered shield volcano, which is the highest of the five volcanoes that comprise the Executive Committee Range of Marie Byrd Land. The feature is marked by a 5-kilometre-wide (3.1 mi) caldera [ 3 ] on the southern side and stands northeast of Mount Waesche in the southern part of the range.
