- The Burdwood Bank, called Namuncurá in Argentina and other countries, is an undersea bank with a prominence of approximately 200 metres (110 fathoms), part of the Scotia Arc projecting some 600 km (370 mi) from Cape Horn in the South Atlantic Ocean and located some 200 kilometres (120 mi) south of the Falkland Islands. Argentina claims economic rights over the whole of the bank, while the United Kingdom has designated about half of the bank as part of the Falklands Outer Economic Zone. The Burdwood Bank is one of the four morphological features defined by the 200 metre (110 fathom) isobath off the coast of the Argentine — the other three being the Patagonian Shelf (Argentine Coastal Shelf), Isla de los Estados and the Falkland Islands. It forms a barrier to the northward flow of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. The bank itself (as defined by the 200 metre; 110 fathom isobath) is some 300 km (190 mi) from east to west and some 60 km (37 mi) from north to south. The channel to the west of the bank is about 80 km (50 mi) wide and 400 m (220 fathoms) deep while the channel to the east of the bank is 130 km (81 mi) wide and has a depth of up to 1,800 m (980 fathoms) deep. Burdwood Bank was the location of several landslides some three million years ago. This in turn produced tsunami-like events that hit the Falkland Islands on its southern coast. Estimates of the size of the waves vary from up to 40 metres (130 ft) at the southern coast and up to 10 metres (33 ft) where the capital, Port Stanley, is located. (en)
- El banco Burdwood, también llamado en Argentina banco Namuncurá, es una meseta sumergida que está ubicada en su parte más occidental a 150 km al este de la isla de los Estados, a 200 km al sur de las islas Malvinas y a 600 km del cabo de Hornos en el océano Atlántico Sur. Se extiende 370 km en dirección este-oeste y su ancho norte-sur varía entre 50 y 100 km. Su profundidad varía entre 50 y 200 m y se supone que formaba una isla en el primer período glaciar. Sus aguas corresponden al régimen oceanográfico subpolar y está rodeado por un talud continental que supera los 3000 metros de profundidad. (es)

Ela tem o comprimento de 370 km na direção leste-oeste e a largura varia entre 50 e 100 km na direção norte-sul. Sua profundidade varia entre os 50 e 200 metros. É presumido que formou uma ilha no primeiro período glacial. (pt)
