Ona Basin, the westernmost oceanic basin in the southern Scotia Sea, is affected by the opposite flows of Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) and Weddell Sea Deep Water (WSDW); thus , it represent s a key location for exploring seafloor morphologies influenced by bottom currents. The present study aims to...
