The sector of Antarctica facing Australia east of 139 °E is characterized by the abundance of exceptionally long oceanic fracture zones that are collinear to post-rift right-lateral strike–slip fault systems developed at the northeastern edge of the Antarctic continent. High-resolution reflection se...
