Abstract
The northern North Atlantic and Arctic oceans are morphologically and geologically complex. The constructive axial plate margin of the northern North Atlantic is propagating through Fram Strait, forming a young oceanic crust in the Nansen Basin of the Eurasian end of the deep water Arctic Ocean (Fig. 1). A complex transform along the continental margin of the Laptev Sea is the present termination of this Atlantic-Arctic Ocean spreading center. The North American end of the Arctic Ocean is floored by older oceanic crust carrying a thick sediment prism in the western end of the Canada Basin. The Barents Sea, like the other wide shallow water margins of the Asian Arctic Ocean and narrower continental shelf elsewhere around the Arctic margin, is an epicontinental sea (Eldholm & Talwani, 1977).KeywordsArctic OceanCanada BasinBottom Simulate ReflectorLomonosov RidgeAlpha RidgeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
