Abstract
In conjunction with the A rgentine A n t a rc t i c Institute, re s e a rchers will be excavating Mosasaur and Plesiosaur fossils and searching for Hadrosaur fossils on Ve g a Island near the A n t a rctic peninsula. Last year, this team discovered the only Hadrosaur fossils outside the Americas, demonstrating a significant land bridge between the Americas and A n t a rctica. They are also evidence of a complex and extensive plant ecosystem on land in the region which was then at a high southern latitude, not unlike its current position.
