Apatite fission-track analysis has been applied to samples collected during the 1991/1992, 1993/1994 and 1996/1997 campaigns of the Italian Antarctic Project in the Transantarctic Mountains. Samples from the first two campaigns, collected in the area between the Mariner and the David Glaciers (northern Victoria Land), reveal that a Late Cretaceous uplift - denudation phase already identified in other sectors of the chain took place also in this region. They also confirm the occurrence of a more recent phase starting in the Late Paleocene. Offsets in apatite age profiles regarding samples collected further north during the third campaign reveal Cenozoic normal faulting with variable sense of offset.
