Description:
On cruises 10 and 15 of Academic Kurchatov (1971, 1973) at the Jan-Mayen Ridge, a large number of samples was obtained. Most of them contained sedimentary rocks. From their study, it is safe to assume that the rocks of the Jan-Mayen Ridge were, at first, subjected to subsidence to a considerable depth, and then uplifted to their contemporary position, by the ascending tectonic movements. Thus, the Jan-Mayen Ridge is in contrast to other Atlantic submarine ridges, not only in the sedimentary rock composition, but in the character of the tectonic movements.
