| The Bransfield Basin is a young active rift basin located between the northern margin of the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands margin. Deception and Bridgeman Islands divide the Bransfield Basin in three subbasins, the western, central and eastern. Specific morpho-tectonic features and sediment fill differentiate each subbasin. The structure and geodynamic evolution of the Central Bransfield Basin, which is in a stage of incipient seafloor spreading, have been investigated in detail from a dense grid of single-channel seismic reflection data. The Central Bransfield Basin is dominated by two families of normal faults which are oriented northeast and northwest. The NE-trending faults define three graben systems that are roughly parallel to... |
