A coarse diamictite (agglomerate) up to 34 m thick consisting mainly of angular basaltic lava clasts occurs within Tertiary terrestrial stratiform volcanic succession at Admiralty Bay, King George Island (South Shetland Islands, West Antarctica). At some sites, it interfingers with coeval basaltic lava flows. The coarse diamictite is interpreted as a lahar developed from low-maturity debris flows triggered either by volcanic eruptions or by less of stability by water-saturated weathering covers. Diamictites with predominantly rounded clasts, and sandstone -the products of short-lived short-distance reworking and sorting by running water, are subordinate.
