The Ross Sea is part of a wide embayment that continues south beneath the Ross Ice Shelf. The embayment is the result of many continental rifting phases that probably started in Cretaceous time, with the break-up between Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica [Behrendt et al, 1991; Lawyer et al., 1991. Extensional tectonism is still active in the western sector of the Ross Sea, as evidenced by faulting and alkaline volcanism [Cooper et al. 1987; LeMasurier and Thomson, 1990].
