Abstract We use high-resolution and regional geophysical data to study a bathymetric high near the Mohns/Knipovich ridges junction, in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea. Near-seafloor magnetic data over hydrothermal site Loki’s Castle first support the basaltic nature of the seafloor. We then combine this result with regional magnetic and bathymetric considerations to investigate the crustal architecture in the vicinity of the junction. We show that the spreading asymmetry is insufficient to allow the development of Oceanic Core Complexes. Instead, this atypical off-axis hill is dominantly basaltic and should be interpreted as the first inside corner hogback structure identified along an active mid-ocean ridge system. Our conclusion tempers the definition of Oceanic Core Complex and underlines that bathymetric highs located off axis from slow-spreading centers cannot always be interpreted as such. This intermediate type of spreading paves the way to the introduction of a new class of oceanic structure referred to as Proto-Core Complexes.
