Composition, structure and conditions of the formation of Archаean Neipir metamorphic complex of the Enderby Land (Eastern Antarctic)

Geological materials, data on the conditions of metamorphism, and the time of tectono-­thermal events within the exposed Enderby mountain massives, obtained by Russian and foreign geologists are summarized. Ortho-­ and paracrystalline formations of the Enderby Land, subdivided by age and metamorphism, made it possible to approach the evaluation of the features of the formation of the continental crust of the Enderby Land, its earliest formations are dated to be earlier than at least 3,850 Ma.
