Single‐grain (U‐Th)/He ages from two profiles were used to reconstruct the post‐Permian tectonic‐thermal history of basement rocks in Heimefrontfjella, East Antarctica. The (U‐Th)/He ages from one sample collected below the late Carboniferous/Early Permian sedimentary cover rocks indicate Jurassic–Early Cretaceous basement paleotemperatures of ∼40°–60°C due to post‐Permian burial. Combined apatite fission track and (U‐Th)/He analyses from samples of a profile in Sivorgfjella suggest a period of flexural‐related tilting after ∼87 Ma. The timing was further constrained using forward and inverse models of the (U‐Th)/He data. Model results indicate a Cenozoic phase of relatively rapid cooling from ∼40°C to surface temperatures. As the driving mechanism, we propose flexural isostatic rebound due to glacial load during the development of the intracontinental ice sheet in the hinterland of the Heimefrontfjella region.
