Abstract
It has been shown that the total transport of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) in the northern fractures (Kane, Cabo Verde, Marathon) are one order of magnitude smaller than in the southern fractures (Vema, Doldrums, Vernadsky). The estimates of AABW transport through this group of fractures based on measurements in 2014 were approximately 0.28 Sv, which is about 25% of the transport through the Vema Fracture Zone. However, the coldest water flows through the Vema Fracture Zone.
