Intensive surveys were made in an abyssal hill province in the North Atlantic at the northeast edge of the Nares Abyssal Plain, where the general conditions favorable for the formation of manganese nodules prevail, i.e., deep water (2600-3300 fm) and low rate of sediment accumulation. Typically, man...
