Abstract
The structural development of the central North Fiji Basin triple junc tion is revealed in SeaMARC II side-scan imagery. All three limbs have unique morphotectonic characteristics and the adjacent sea-floor fabr ic is oblique to the limb axes. The triple junction is interpreted to be a recent phenomenon and to have formed by a discrete jump to its pr esent site.
