摘要

Abstract

Considering the complex topographic features of the southeast of Prydz Bay where China’s Zhongshan Station is located

three types of geomorphologic units can be identified

i.e.

submarine slopes

canyons

and terrains. The major topographic features in the study area are the submarine canyon and trough system outside the calving ice front of Dalk Glacier. A 3.8 km × 80 m fissure is found on the submarine terrain at Zhongshan Anchorage

which

once triggered by geological hazards such as earthquakes and ice falls

would be a threat to the usage and maintenance of the anchorage.
