Magnetic, gravity and bathymetric data from Marguerite Bay are used to study the relationships between oceanic and continental tectonic evolution in the arc and fore-arc of the Antarctic Peninsula. The data are used to redefine the crustal structure of the Marguerite Bay area, providing evidence for...
