RRS Discovery Cruise 365, 11 May-02 Jun 2011. The Extended Ellett Line 2011
The Extended Ellett Line is a full-depth hydrographic section between Iceland, 60°N 20°W, Rockall and Scotland. The original Ellett Line across the Rockall Trough was first occupied in 1975 when measurements were attempted four times a year. In 1996 the line was extended to Iceland and since then ha...
