The bathymetry around Antarctica can govern the shelf sea circulations and play a key role in conditioning water masses. In Prydz Bay, the Prydz Bay Gyre and coastal currents are also determined by the continental shelf topography. However, due to the paucity of beam echo sounding data, the bathymet...
