Subvertical white stripes and white dots show gas seeps. Shaded polygons on the sea surface show aerial multibeam echosounder data coverage. White polygons indicate structural boundaries. The geological profile (modified) is based on NPD, Geological assessment of petroleum resources in eastern parts of the Barents Sea North. (2017)42. Bold black lines on the geological profile highlight Triassic and Jurassic hydrocarbon reservoir-bearing strata. Bathymetric data is from IBCAO V484.
