Soviet Biological Exploration in Antarctic Seas
. The 11th Soviet Antarctic Expedition was the first in Soviet antarctic research to employ aqualungs in biological exploration. Such explorations were conducted from mid-December to March, during the antarctic summer 1966-67. The special methods we employed were determined by the peculiar nature of...
