To study the seafloor morphology on the George V Land shelf, East Antarctica, over 2000 km of high-frequency 3.5-27 kHz, echo-sounder data were collected between February and March 2000. The shelf can be divided into four acoustic facies: (a) Type IA-2 seabed is ice-keel turbate found on mid- to out...
