N2 - Despite the record minimum ice extent in the Arctic Ocean for the past 2
years, collecting geophysical data with towed sensors in ice-covered
regions continues to pose enormous challenges. Significant parts of the
Canada Basin in the western Arctic Ocean have remained largely unmapped
because thick multiyear ice has limited access even by research vessels
strengthened against ice [Jackson et al., 1990]. Because of the
resulting paucity of data, the western Arctic Ocean is one of the few
areas of ocean in the world where major controversies still exist with
respect to its origin and tectonic evolution [Grantz et al., 1990; Lawver and Scotese, 1990; Lane, 1997; Miller et al., 2006].
