 Abstract. As a result of the work, the structure of the Quaternary cover and bedrock of the Storfjorden trench and strait, the Spitsbergen Bank and the shallow water elevations of Hoopen Island and the Thousand Islands were studied. The summit surfaces and slopes of the elevations and banks are composed of bedrock of the Mesozoic, which are covered by a very thin cover of Quaternary formations. The thickness of quaternary sediments increases in relief depressions - the Storfjorden trench and local depressions. In shallow areas, there are disordered, multidirectional traces of iceberg marks, and in the upper part of the Storfjorden trench, in the area Spitsbergen Bank, in the structure of the seabed, groups of pods are clearly recorded.

Keywords: geological survey, seismoacoustic profiling, bottom sampling, bottom rock material, pockmarks, Storfjorden, Spitsbergen Bank, Barents Sea
