The Svyatogor Ridge, located in the Fram strait, is a site hosting a fluid flow system. The Svyatogor Ridge is part of the inside corner high at the Knipovich Ridge-Molloy Transform fault intersection. The Knipovich Ridge is an ultra-slow, melt-poor spreading ridge with approximately 8 mm/yr spreadi...
