Abstract: This data set consists of exposure ages for glacial deposits on nunataks and ice-free areas adjacent to Scott Glacier, Transantarctic Mountains. Most samples are glacially transported clasts deposited during the last glacial period or exposed by subsequent retreat of the glacier, ca. 16,000 yr B.P. to present.
