During field seasons 2016/17 and 2017/18, pre-site seismic surveys were undertaken in the Ekströmisen region of Dronning Maud Land, with the primary goal of building a stratigraphic age framework of sub-ice-shelf sedimentary strata. These sediments cover the Explora Wedge, a syn- or post-rift volcan...
