The Arctic mid-ocean ridge system is one of the two main representatives of the particular class of ultraslow spreading ridges with spreading rates of less than 20 mm/y full rate. The formation of new ocean lithosphere at these ridges strongly deviates from any other ocean basin. Typical properties...
