Sediment patterns derived from sediment sampling and acoustic subbottom profiling were mapped on the Reykjanes Ridge (North Atlantic) between 59°N and 60°N. Five discrete sediment echo patterns were distinguished and mapped on a regional scale. The prolonged and layered echo facies, which mainly ref...
