Abstract
The Antarctic continent is for the most part surrounded by passive margins, except for a restricted segment along the northern termination of the Antarctic Peninsula. Extensive single-channel and multi-channel seismic reflection surveys carried out in the last two decades, have clarified many aspects of the structure and stratigraphic setting of these margins, and highlighted the importance of the seismic facies analyses for the reconstructions of ice sheet history (i. e., the ANTOSTRAT program, Cooper et al., 1995). Due to the hostile local environment, the knowledge of the Antarctic margins is still uncomplete, allowing for regions adequately covered by seismic surveys to be adjacent to unexplored areas.
