Abstract: On the basis of the geological mapping, isotopic choronoogcal and petrological evidences, the authors suggested that the early Tertiary volcanic strata in the Fildes Peninsula could be divided into two formations and four members. The erupted centers in the peninsula were gradually migrating from the western coast to the eastern and the subvolcanic instrusives were regularly distributed along a series of NWW-SEE trending faults. All of these were basically formed in two stages of volcanic activities from Paleocene to Eocene.
Key words: Volcanic stratigraphy, Volcanism, Fildes Peninsula West Antarctica
