    Mapping the Earth Below the Oceans

    Some 55 million years ago the continental crust between Norway and Greenland had thinned to such an extent that it broke up. Since then Norway and Greenland have been drifting apart, and new oceanic crust have been created in between the continents. Large quantities of sediments have been collected in this constantly growing rift which today is known as the North Atlantic. This makes the area particularly interesting to the scientists in the marine geology and geophysics group at the University in Bergen.
