A major trough (Belgica Trough) eroded by a palaeo-ice stream crosses the continental shelf of the southern Bellingshausen Sea (West Antarctica) and is associated with a trough mouth fan (Belgica TMF) on the adjacent continental slope. Previous marine geophysical and geological studies investigated...
