Hernandez-Molina, F. J.; Larter, R. D.; Rebesco, M.; Maldonado, A. (2004): Miocene changes in bottom current regime recorded in continental rise sediments on the Pacific margin of the Antarctic Peninsula. American Geophysical Union, Washington, DC, United States, Geophysical Research Letters, 31 (22), georefid:2005-056544

Abstract:
A Fossil Mounded Sedimentary Body (MB) has been identified in the Miocene sedimentary record on the central continental rise west of Adelaide Island, Antarctic Peninsula, using multichannel seismic reflection profiles. The MB has an elongated NE trend away from a group of seamounts, and it developed between two troughs. We interpret it as a patch drift plastered against the NE side of an obstacle. The MB's depositional patterns provide the first clear evidence of Early Miocene bottom current activity on the central rise, and they suggest that flow was towards the NE, probably as part of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
