Abstract
Mount Rannyaya (86°58' S, 163°20' W, 2270 m a.s.l., 18-20 Ма) и Sheridan Bluff (87°04' S, 153°46' W, 2720 m a.s.l., ~ 16 Ма) were explored in 1934 and 1962-1963, and studied and dated in 1978-1979 bу Antarctic researches. The article shows that these volcanoes are typical tuya, the oldest and high-latitude volcanoes on Earth. It confirms that in early Miocene thick glaciers existed in western Antarctic near the Pole, and subglacial volcanic activity was strong.References
