Abstract: There are two parts to Antarctica, East and West. A central question in reconstructing global plate-tectonic history has been what amount of movement there has been between them in the past 80 million years or so. New data from geophysical surveys allows firm bounds to be put upon the extent of motion, and thereby more rigorous estimates to be incorporated into the ‘plate-motion circuit’ used to calculate the Earth's tectonic history.
