A new look at the first dinosaur discovered in Antarctica: reappraisal of Antarctopelta oliveroi (Ankylosauria: Parankylosauria)
Advances in Polar Science 35(1): 78-107

The first dinosaur discovered in the Antarctic continent was the ankylosaur Antarctopelta oliveroi in the 1980s. Nevertheless, since then several hypotheses of phylogenetical relationships have been proposed because these have been depended on how the skeletal remains have been interpreted. The main obstacle for clarifying its phylogenetic position is that many portions of the skeleton remain unknown, in addition to the presence of unknown characters in typical ankylosaurs. Considered an ankylosaurid, nodosaurid, or even a chimaera, a recent proposal based on mostly complete material of a new ankylosaur from Chilean Patagonia provided support for a novel phylogenetic hypothesis: Antarctopelta and other southern ankylosaurs are an early branching clade, the Parankylosauria, whose origin probably dates to the Late Jurassic. In the light of this new view, a redescription of the available skeletal remains is provided together with a new reconstruction of the first Antarctic dinosaur known to the science community.

Review of the Cretaceous avian diversity of Antarctica: a changing scenario for the evolution of early Neornithine birds.
Advances in Polar Science 35(1): 1-13
doi: https://doi.org/10.12429/j.advps.2023.0025

The worldwide record of Cretaceous Neornithes and Neornithine-like birds is both controversial and poorly understood. However, in recent years, the Antarctic continent has yielded a substantial number of Maastrichtian avian specimens, contributing significantly to our understanding of the early evolution of this group. Simultaneously, the keen interest and collaborative efforts of various paleornithologists have resulted in a wealth of knowledge, which we have thoroughly reviewed, updated, and discussed in the context of recent discoveries.

They work fine for me, although the Antarctopelta one is stupidly huge at 131 megs.
