Northeast Atlantic 2004 – Cruise No. M61, April 19 – June 6, 2004 – Lisbon (Portugal) – Ponta Delgada (Azores)
R/V METEOR Cruise No. 61 was divided into three different legs, which all focused on the NEAtlantic to the west of Ireland from the Porcupine Seabight towards the Rockall Bank. Legs 1 and 3 concentrated on geo-biological studies on the carbonate mounds in this region, which are covered by a unique c...
