“…Termed a "flexural moat", this basin is believed to have formed through a combination of localized lithospheric loads emplaced by the development of Ross Island's volcanoes, beginning around 4.6 m.y., superimposed on the regional pattern of rift subsidence (Stern et al, 1991;Horgan et al, 2005). The drill site is situated within the Terror Rift, which lies near the western margin of the larger Victoria Land Basin (Figure 1), one of the three major north-south trending sedimentary basins that form the West Antarctic Rift System.…”

“…Recently, new seismic reflection data have been acquired as part of the preparations for the ANDRILL MIS project south of Ross Island (Naish et al, 2006), and a seismic stratigraphic analysis was reported by Horgan et al (2005). An extensive, multi-channel seismic reflection survey was also conducted in 2004 (RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer cruise 0401; Wilson et al, 2004) to provide data in areas previously uninvestigated by seismic reflection traverses (Figure 1).…”

“…Some more site-specific seismic facies analysis and modeling was carried out by Bartek et al (1997) in the central and eastern parts of the West Antarctic Rift, and details of seismic facies in the area of the CIROS-1 and MSSTS-1 drillholes were provided by Bartek et al (1996) and Bucker et al (1998). More recently, seismic facies in the youngest part of the stratigraphic section, in southern McMurdo Sound, were evaluated by Horgan et al (2005) and Whittaker (2005). The present work draws on these previous studies, and extends both the array of seismic facies recognized and the stratigraphic range to include the entire Cenozoic.…”

“…This geometry is evident in strike and dip seismic profiles [Horgan et al, 2005;Fielding et al, 2007]. The diverse range of rock types recovered includes diamictites (poorly sorted deposits associated with glacial processes), sand stones and mudstones, diatomites (siliceous microfossil deposits), volcanic ash, and one lava flow (Figure 1).…”
