Beside deep seismic soundings, 12 multi-channel seismic profiles, with a total length of ca 1000 km have been recorded north and east of the South Shetland Islands and in the Bransfield Strait, but they have never before been completely interpreted and published. All profiles have been processed with modern processing flow including time migration. Profiles crossing the South Shetland Trench revealed distinct reflector inside continental slope, which has been interpreted as border between buried accretionary prism and overlying slope sediments of glacial-marine origin. Profiles in the Bransfield Strait show traces of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in the form of glacial foreground valleys, with some of them used as weak spots for young age volcanic intrusions. This paper is the first comprehensive geological interpretation of collected dataset and differences between results from other expeditions are discussed.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={New geological interpretation of multi-channel seismic profiles from the Pacific Margin of the Antarctic Peninsula}, URL={http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/99632/PDF/10183_Volume37_Issue2_05_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/popore-2016-0014}, keywords={Antarctica, Bransfield Strait, Glacier valleys, marine seismic, South Shetland Trench, Subduction zone, Volcanic structure}, }
