Italian icebreaker ‘Laura Bassi’which is participating in a research mission in Antarctica, has reached the southernmost point ever reached by a ship, National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS) Italy.

Technicians and researchers traveling on a ship participating in the oceanographic campaign of the 38th Italian expedition of the National Antarctic Research Program (PNRA) have reached “hitherto uncharted” territory in bay of whales in the Ross Sea, Antarctica.

In this way, ‘Laura Bassi’ “He broke the absolute world record,” he told OGS, stressing in a note that “marine conditions unusually ice-free allowed for CTD profiling and scientific fishing.”

“This hitherto unexplored area was taken for sampling as part of the BIOCLEVER project, a multidisciplinary approach to study the biophysical connectivity that structures the larval community of the Ross Sea continental shelf,” the institute explained.

The first results of the “study of the physical parameters of sea water (from the surface to a depth close to the bottom, 216 meters) showed the presence of especially cold water and are of great importance for studying the dynamics of currents in Ross sea”.

“Furthermore, the first analysis of the collected material revealed a high density of larval and juvenile stages of fish species, highlighting the presence of some species rarely seen in the Ross Sea, as well as the presence of large masses of unicellular algae, indicating high primary production and stimulating further research,” it added. OGS.

Journey of Laura Bassi

Travel ‘Laura Bassi’ began on 17 November when he left Trieste (northeast of Italy) to New Zealand, from the port of which Lyttelton he left on January 5 towards Mario Zucchelli Station and the Ross Sea.

The BIOCLEVER project is coordinated by the Institute of Polar Sciences (CNR-Isp) of the Italian National Research Council in collaboration with the Marine Observatory MORSea (Partenope University).

The record was reached during the first oceanographic campaign, with projects such as mapping the seabed to map areas that do not have seabed, which is about to culminate in a change of scientific staff at Mario Zucchelli Station on February 4 next year. . (EFE)
