Above the bedrock are tundra-covered unconsolidated deposits from two episodes of Pleistocene glaciation. These glacial deposits consist of poorly sorted to unsorted, non-stratified compact till ranging from muddy gravel to sandy... 

Reversed polarity components appear to be present in samples from both the uppermost (Bone Chamber - Level C) and lowermost (Reed Chamber - level A) epiphreatic levels in the cave system. Thus level A, only a few meters above present stream level, must have formed before 780 ka. The caves have an antiquity not indicated by their present appearance or position in the landscape. This is in marked contrast to the Northern Hemisphere, where the effects of the Pleistocene glaciations have meant that the majority of the caves there probably developed in the late Pleistocene and Holocene.

The discovery of tillite proves that the mountains of the Shackleton Range were over-ridden by Permian continental ice sheets that once covered the Transantarctic Mountains before they were uplifted. The evidence for the Permian glaciation of the Shackleton Range draws attention to the possibility that the erosion surface on the present-day summit plateaus is the local representative of the Kukri Peneplain and that this surface was not necessarily formed by erosion during the Plio/Pleistocene glaciation. 

The Plio/Pleistocene glaciation of the Shackleton Range was caused by ice that originated from three potential sources The East Antarctic Ice Sheet, the...
