	Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) Polarstern
		Since she was first commissioned in 1982, the Polarstern has completed a total of more than thirty expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic.
		She was specially designed for working in the polar seas and is currently the most sophisticated polar research vessel in the world.
		The Polarstern is a double-hulled icebreaker operational at temperatures as low as –50°C, which would enable her to overwinter in the ice sheets of the polar seas.

		With its deep valleys 5,500 meter beneath the sea surface and its 5,000 meter high summits, Gakkel ridge is far mightier than the Alps.
		This is the site of seafloor spreading that is actively separating Europe from North America, and was the goal of the international expedition AMORE (Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge Expedition) with two research icebreakers, the "USCGC Healy" from USA and the German "PFS Polarstern".
		The observations made at the Gakkel ridge demonstrate that volcanic activity in certain regions is not only dependant on the spreading rate.

		We have made a preliminary examination of 46 thin sections and hundreds of hand samples of mantle peridotites made on board PFS POLARSTERN and HEALY in the course of the expedition.
		During the AMORE2001 expedition of USCGC Healy and RV Polarstern, more than one hundred sampling stations were successfully completed mid-way through the cruise, with precise locations on new multibeam bathymetric charts (Kurras et al, Gauger et al, this meeting).
		The Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge Expedition (AMORE) was an international effort involving Germany's research icebreaker RV POLARSTERN and the new U.S. research icebreaker USCGC HEALY on its maiden scientific voyage.

		For animal taxa with non-pelagic larvae, such as cheilostome bryozoans, the shelf environment of Bouvet is a rare example of isolated oceanic communities.
		Agassiz trawl samples of the 2003 ANT XXI-2 cruise of the PFS Polarstern collected a total of 18 species of cheilostomes at four sites around Bouvet Island.
		Of these only four had been reported before amongst the 20 species of cheilostome previously known from this locality.

		Peter Michael of the University of Tulsa spent almost a decade planning the 2001 Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge Expedition (AMORE) cruise, funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Vents Program.
		The cruise sampled and surveyed more than a thousand kilometers of the Gakkel Ridge using the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy and German PFS Polarstern icebreakers.
		Michael asked Edmonds to accompany him on the cruise in an effort to learn what hydrothermal activity might be occurring in the area.

		The findings were among a range of discoveries made by researchers aboard the US Coast Guard Cutter Healy, an icebreaker equipped for science, and a companion German research vessel, the Polarstern, in late August, early in a nine-week cruise to the Gakkel Ridge, Earth's least volcanically active mid-ocean ridge.
		The polar research vessels RV Polarstern and USCGC Healy returned after a ten week successful expedition to the high arctic regions.
		Following precise bathymetric measurements the Polarstern and the Healy have revealed the existence of complex volcanic cones in many areas of the Gakkel Ridge.

		For the area south of Bering Strait, contours were extracted from a chart published by the US Naval Research Laboratory (Perry et al, 1985).
		Contour information was supplemented with a mix of existing and newly-available observations that were collected by submarines of the United States and the United Kingdom (1958 B1988), the Swedish Research Vessel I/B Oden (1991 and 1996), the German research vessel PFS Polarstern (1995), SCICEX (1993-1998), and the Canadian Hydrographic Service.

		During the RV "Polarstern" expedition ARK-XIII/2 (1997) several gravity cores were recovered from the western Yermak Plateau to study the palaeoclimate and palaeoceanic circulation patterns and their variability during the last glacial/interglacial cycle.
		The new bathymetry was merged with the USGS topographic model, GTOPO 30, to create a grid which covers both topography and bathymetry of the Arctic region.
		We studied the particles >2 mm which are assumed to reflect IRD in the proximity of potential ice sheets to make sure that, during major climatic changes, we really consider IRD attributed to sediment delivery from waxing and waning ice-sheets.
