 Towards the end of the Permian period continued warming led to a dry, hot climate over much of Gondwana.Pangea began to break up during the Triassic, while Gondwana moved northward taking Antarctica way from the South pole region.Subduction continued along the Pacific margin, and Triassic strata was deposited along the Transantarctic Mountains and the Antarctic Peninsula, including the Trinity Peninsula Group, the Legoupil Formation, and continued deposition of the Victoria Group within the Beacon Supergroup.
