Does this occasion any revamping of current theories?
"It all adds to the mystery - from the tectonic perspective of how these mountains were created; and from the glacial history perspective of how the East Antarctic ice sheet was formed and didn't erode these peaks."

Why the wait if these mountains were discovered in the 1950s? Why are we just now taking more accurate measurements?
I think creationism's fate is literally sealed below the permafrost of the Antarctic, however. If we could only get to the fossils, we could determine whether there were indeed any modern animals living on the continent. If there weren't, then we could assume that all life ceased to exist on the continent after it drifted too far south to support organisms.
I have wondered about this before. Why can't we dig a hole down through the ice to the continent below and explore the fossil finds?
