At the same time the work under way to date the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains and the 3 KM of ice covering them may show that ice to date back to the period of "Snowball Earth".
A whole new era of Antarctic discovery and climatology will begin with the results of those studies.
...there hasn’t been enough movement in the plate tectonics model(s) to account for the glaciation pattern. Hence, the snowball Earth idea. Kirschvink also has something called “true polar wander” as a way (alternative) to account for these same anomalous patterns. The problem of course is, continental drift was an absurdly superficial idea, and just because it’s called plate tectonics and uses some igneous rock deposits and assumptions about magnetic field orientation in them doesn’t improve it at all.
