Basaltic lavas from fracture zones and ridge segments have been systematically sampled along the Southwest Indian Ridge from the Bouvet triple junction to 11 ° E. Detailed studies of the major and trace element and isotopic variations in these lavas serve to distinguish three compositional groupings...
