Submarine Topography and Several Bottom Sediments around Prince Olav and Prince Harald Coasts, Antarctica

The deep sea floor between Africa and Antarctica is divided into two provinces by the continuation of Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The bottom sediments on the continental slope around Prince Olav Coast and Amundsen Bay are hemipelagic clays which are rich in SiO_2 and poor in CaCO_3, Fe_2O_3, Al_2O_3 and P_2...

Summary:The deep sea floor between Africa and Antarctica is divided into two provinces by the continuation of Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The bottom sediments on the continental slope around Prince Olav Coast and Amundsen Bay are hemipelagic clays which are rich in SiO_2 and poor in CaCO_3, Fe_2O_3, Al_2O_3 and P_2O_5.
