Abstract:
This single-sided geological map of South Georgia covers the entire island and also outlying islands to the
west. South Georgia forms part of a microcontinental block situated along the eastern extent of the North
Scotia Ridge. Geological correlations with southernmost South America and tectonic reconstructions of the
Scotia Sea indicate that South Georgia was originally an easterly extension of a Late Jurassic to Early
Cretaceous marginal basin.
The map includes four geological cross sections across key areas of the island and a detailed inset geological
map of the Cumberland Bay area.
Purpose:
This single-sided geological map of South Georgia covers the entire island and also outlying islands to the
west.
