Astrid Ridge, extending from 65°S to the Antarctic margin and located between 9°E and 17°E, forms the eastern border of the Lazarev Sea and the western border of the Riiser-Larsen Sea. It is divided into two parts by the Astrid Fracture Zone: south of 67°S Astrid Ridge stretches N-S while the

have been found and this area is therefore interpreted as stretched continental crust and Astrid Ridge as a former continental margin created by volcanism during the break-up.
