Profile of the Arctic Ocean from the Barents Sea towards the (geographic) North Pole

The Amundsen Basin, with depths up to Шаблон:Cvt, is the deepest abyssal plain in the Arctic Ocean, and contains the geographic North Pole. The Amundsen Basin is embraced by the Lomonosov Ridge (from Шаблон:Coord to Шаблон:Coord) and the Gakkel Ridge (from Шаблон:Coord to Шаблон:Coord). 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]
