Abstract The RV Polarstern expedition ANTARKTIS- XXIII/4 (ANT-XXIII/4) began on 10 February 2006 from Punta Arenas returning on 11 April 2006. The main goal of the expedition was to study glaciomarine sedimentation and the evolution of the tectonic-geodynamic setting of the southern Amundsen Sea and Pine Island bay. Crustal and sedimentary structures on the West Antarctic continental margin and Pine Island were surveyed using deep crustal refraction and reflection seismic geophysical methods. (mte)
