Abstract
Physiographically, the North Greenland margin is an eastward extension of the passive rifted continental margin of the Canadian Arctic Islands (see Sweeney and Sobczak, this volume); however, geologically it has a very different setting. It is a transform-rifted margin and represents the only part of the margin that borders the relatively young, oceanic, and seismically active part of the Arctic Basin—the Eurasia Basin. This is in contrast to the extensive western margin that faces the older and seemingly more complex Amerasia (Canada-Makarov) Basin (Fig. 1).
