he expedition ANTARKTIS-XXIII/4 of the research vessel ’Polarstern’ in 2006. Berichte zur Polar- und Meeresforschung = Reports on Polar and Marine Research 557 (ed Gohl., K.) In English Ant. Acc. No: 85104. CRREL Acc. No: 63000887; illus., incl. sketch maps, 38–45. issn: 1618-3193 (2007).The main objective of the bathymetric working group was to perform high resolution multibeam surveys during the entire cruise for geomorphological interpretation, to locate geological sampling sites, to interpret magnetic and gravimetric measurements and to expand the world database for oceanic mapping. Precise depth measurements are the basis for creating high resolution models of the sea surface. The morphology of the seabed, interpreted from bathymetric models, gives information about the geological processes on the earth surface.
