Summary:
Teri McLain requested assistance to locate a large depression in the seafloor near Cape Armitage. This unique feature was shown on a bathymetic chart produced by Rikk Kvitek (S-320), and the research team wanted to deploy fish traps and take conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) readings in it as part of their research to better understand the role of antifreeze proteins in freezing avoidance of Antarctic fishes. A Garmin DGPS receiver was provided to obtain meter-level positioning.
