New seismic refraction data were collected across the western Svalbard continental margin off Kongsfjorden (Ny Ålesund) during the cruise leg ARK15/2 of RV Polarstern. The use of onshore and offshore seismic receivers and a dense air-gun shot pattern provide a detailed view of the velocity structure...
