Amundsen Basin
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The Amundsen Basin, with depths up to 4.4 km, is the deepest abyssal plain in the Arctic Ocean. The Amundsen Basin is embraced by the Lomonosov Ridge (from Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. to Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) and the Gakkel Ridge (from Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. to Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.). It is named after the polar researcher Roald Amundsen. Together with the Nansen Basin, the Amundsen Basin is often summarized as Eurasian Basin.
The Russian-American cooperation Nansen and Amundsen Basin Observational System (NABOS) aims "to provide a quantitative observationally based assessment of circulation, water mass transformations, and transformation mechanisms in the Eurasian and Canadian Basins of the Arctic Ocean".
Formation
The Amundsen Basin formed during the Cenozoic Era from seafloor spreading.[1]
