The Adare Trough, located 100 km NE of Cape Adare, Antarctica, is the extinct third arm of a Tertiary spreading ridge thatseparated East from West Antarctica. We use seismic reflection data, tied to DSDP Site 274, to link our seismic stratigraphicinterpretation to changes in ocean-bottom currents, R...
