The isotopic composition of neodymium has been determined in seawaters from the Drake Passage. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which controls interocean mixing, flows through this passage. The parameter ε_(Nd)(0) which is a function of the ratio of neodymium-143 to neodymium-144, is found to be...
