The Heirtzler Fracture Zone is an underwater geological feature located in the Atlantic Ocean. It represents a fracture zone, which is a type of transform fault where tectonic plates slide past one another. This particular fracture zone is associated with the mid-Atlantic ridge and plays a significant role in the tectonics of the region.
