Observation of manganese deposits on the Weddell Sea during the R/V Polarstern ANT-X/2 expedition

The aim of the sedimentological program of Leg ANT-X/2 was to densify the existing sample network in the area of the Weddell Sea and the Lazarev Sea, or fill the gaps in previous geological investigation sections due to bad weather conditions, unfavorable ice conditions or technical failures. The pl...

Description
Summary:The aim of the sedimentological program of Leg ANT-X/2 was to densify the existing sample network in the area of the Weddell Sea and the Lazarev Sea, or fill the gaps in previous geological investigation sections due to bad weather conditions, unfavorable ice conditions or technical failures. The planned survey of Leg ANT-X/2 from the southwestern Weddell Sea to the eastern Lazarev Sea was only slightly affected by ice conditions. In particular, two stations were successfully conducted on the Polarstern Seamount, an area which had been previously surveyed in 1991 during R/V Polarstern Leg ANT-IX/3.
