Abstract Seismic reflection data reveal prominent bottom‐simulating reflections (BSRs) within the relatively young (<0.78 Ma) sediments along the West Svalbard continental margin. The potential hydrate occurrence zone covers an area of c. 1600 km 2 . The hydrate accumulation zone is bound by stru...
