Figure F4. Generalized map of present-day ocean currents in the Prydz Bay region (modified from Smith et al., 1984). ACC = Antarctic Circumpolar Current. The Polar Current and ACC are major surface current systems that extend into Antarctic Deep Water, and their variable interactions partly control sediment distribution across the continental margin.
