Abstract
The results of density modeling of the structure of the tectonosphere through the Antarctic sector of the South Atlantic Ocean along profiles stretching from the Falkland Plateau to the Mozambique Ridge and crossing a series of uplifts and ridges separated by deep-sea basins are presented. Studies have shown that the crust of this region has a heterogeneous structure, and the uplifts have a different structure of the crust, which indicates their different origin.
