Abstract
A total of 334 oriented volcanic samples of Early Tertiary were collected for a paleomagnetic study from 43 sampling sites in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Paleomagnetic study indicates that the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula were situated in or close to their present position in Early Tertiary. Furthermore, it is also suggested that a counterclockwise rotation about 15 degrees related to the relative movement between South America and Antarctica took place in north of Antarctic Peninsula since Paleocene.
