Abstract
"It was found that the central part of the Pacific Ocean exhibits the most oceanic structure, with exception for the Hawaiian islands. In the south-eastern Pacific Ocean an area could be delineated with a new type of dispersion characteristics, not found in any other part of the Pacific. This area agrees closely with the Easter Island ridge system, and exhibits unusually thin crust and low upper-mantle velocities as well as exceptionally high heat flow."
