Martin Jakobsson

The OSO (Oden Southern Ocean) 2010/11 expedition was carried out during austral summer 2010/11 in Southern Ocean waters off West Antarctica.

With the Swedish icebreaker Oden serving as the research platform, a range of scientific investigations were made. Research programs included studies of oceanography, sea ice, marine biology and water chemistry along western Antarctica, from McMurdo to the Antarctic Peninsula. Data provided in the database here comprise processed multibeam bathymetry.

The expedition started in Punta Arenas, Chile, and ended in McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and lasted from December 8, 2010, to January 16, 2011.

Comments

This expedition to the Amundsen Sea in Antarctica was a coordinated jointly by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat, and the Swedish Research Council. This was a two-ship expedition, and a rendezvous with R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer permitted the transfer of equipment and scientists.
