volcanic origin for this region, including the Alpha and Mendeleev Ridges. Oakey
and Saltus (2016) used magnetic and gravity data to study the high Arctic large
igneous province (HALIP), which is characterized by a high Arctic magnetic high
(HAMH). Figure 4 shows a closer view of this complex region that is dominated by
Fig. 4 Bathymetry/topography of the Alpha-Mendeleev complex. The white outline represents
the High Arctic Magnetic High. AB Amundsen Basin, AX Axel Heiberg Island, CB Chukchi Basin,
CG Cooperation Gap, ELI Ellesmere Island, NB Nautilus Basin, NS Nautilus Spur, NWR Northwind
Ridge, MB Makarov Basin, MS Marvin Spur, PB Podvodnikov Basin, SB Stefansson Basin, SS
Sever Spur. (From Oakey and Saltus 2016, see publication for more details)
