4.2.8 Channel body 13 (Western side of Werenskioldfjellet)Channel body 13 is situated on the western side of Werenskioldfjellet, south-west of Hopenradio, about 3 km SW of Channel body 12. It has a maximum height of around 22 meters andis approximately 210 meters wide. The channel is difficult to spot on the eastern side of theisland, hence only the outcrop found on the western side of the island is interpreted in thisthesis. The body is clearly cutting into the underlying sediments. The pinch out illustrated onFigure 4.26D clearly shows layers that have stopped towards, what is interpreted as thechannel body. Because of scree located on the left side of the channel, it is difficult to findthese layers on the other side (Figure 4.26 and Figure 4.27). It is also possible to see that thechannel body pinches out on the right side of Figure 4.26C, into what looks like fine- grainedsediments. It is difficult to see any big scale structures on this channel body because of heavyfracturing (Figure 4.26).The bottom of the channel body is found approximately 50 meters above sea level and the topof the channel body is found about 190 meters below Hopen member.Figure 4.26: This figure illustrates the pinch out found on Channel body 13.
