... circumpolar ocean currents, but the timing of opening is unclear, because the Shackleton Fracture Zone could have blocked the gateway until the early Miocene. Geophysical and geochemical evidence presented here suggests that the Shackleton Fracture Zone is an oceanic transverse ridge, formed by uplift related...

Figure 2. A: Tectonic summary map of southeastern Shackleton Fracture Zone. Features labeled are discussed in text. Projection is oblique Mercator, projected about pole (68°S, 76°W). Shallow earthquake epicenters (Engdahl et al., 1998; yellow stars), Harvard Centroid Moment Tensor solutions (black beach balls), and focal mechanisms from Pelayo and Wiens (1989; blue beach balls) are also shown. Small arrows along Shackleton Fracture Zone (bold black line) represent Antarctica-Scotia plate motion with rates shown in shaded rectangles, calculated from model TLP2003 (Thomas et al., 2003). Large arrows at West Scotia Ridge axis indicate direction of spreading before (black) and during (white) final, oblique, phase of spreading between 8 and 6.5 Ma. Deep basin (shaded) is interpreted as pull-apart feature. Location of seismic reflection profile KSL93-1 (Kim et al., 1997) is shown. Green line—2000 m isobath representing approximate position of Antarctic continental edge; blue line—outline of median valley of extinct West Scotia Ridge spreading center. B: High-resolution bathymetry of Shackleton Fracture Zone and adjacent parts of Antarctic Peninsula margin (EI—Elephant Island) and West Scotia Ridge, obtained with hull-mounted multibeam echo sounders fitted to BIO Hesperides and RRS James Clark Ross.

 Figure 1. Bransfield Strait, West Antarctica, showing bathymetry (color, 100 m contours), refraction profiles (black lines), and ocean-bottom seismograph positions (red dots) in central Bransfield basin (CBB). Northeast-southwest–trending neovolcanic edifices occur between Bridgeman and Deception Islands (BI, DI). Progression from shallowest water in western Bransfield basin (WBB), to stepwise deepening of CBB to northeast, and rhomb-shaped deeps in eastern Bransfield basin (EBB) suggests basinwide structural control. Inset: Bransfield Strait is inboard of South Shetland Trench, between Hero and Shackleton fracture zones. Backarc extension may have begun when cessation of spreading between Hero and Shackleton fracture zones caused former Phoenix plate (shaded) to become Antarctic plate (Barker, 1982). Rocas Verdes basin, southernmost Andes, is also shown (RVB, gray line, and on South Georgia, SG). AP is Antarctic Peninsula; SA is South America.

Figure 9. Reconstructions of the positions of Marie Byrd Land crustal block (MBL) on the Pacific margin of Antarctica within the fragmenting Gondwana supercontinent in Early Cretaceous (117 Ma), mid-Cretaceous (100 Ma), Late Cretaceous (85 Ma), and Oligocene (30 Ma) time. MA and MR on the reconstruction for Early Cretaceous time are the Amundsen and Ross provinces of Pankhurst et al. (1998) and incorporate the paleomagnetic sites of “east” and “west” Marie Byrd Land of DiVenere et al. (1995), respectively, used to position the two fragments. South Pole is shown at its present position within East Antarctica in all four reconstructions; South Pole locations for East Antarctica (cross and alpha 95 confidence circle) based on the synthetic polar wander path of DiVenere et al. (1994) are shown for 117 and 100 Ma when they are within the area shown on the map. AP—Antarctic Peninsula crustal block; AUS—Australia; CHP—Challenger Plateau; CP—Campbell Plateau (E—east, W—west); CR—Chatham Rise; EWM—Ellsworth-Whitmore Mountains crustal block; LF—Lafonian microplate; LHR—Lord Howe Rise; NZ—New Zealand; SAM—South America; SFZ—ancestral Shackleton fracture zone of Grunow et al. (1992); SG—South Georgia; TI—Thurston Island crustal block. Dashed line (30 Ma reconstruction) is the limit of the suggested Marie Byrd Land plume of Le Masurier and Landis (1996); double-arrowed line (85 Ma reconstruction) is incipient Pacific-Antarctic spreading center between the New Zealand microcontinent and the Marie Byrd Land crustal block of Antarctica.
