| 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. The marine sedimentary geology studies of the expedition focused on the dynamic behavior of the West Antarctic ice sheet in the Amundsen Sea during the upper Quaternary, Pliocene to Quaternary paleo-oceanography in the southwestern Pacific, and Holocene paleoclimate of Maxwell Bay, King George Island.
